One of the best things my dad ever said to me was: Unless you believe in reincarnation, it’s time to be happy now. (Personally, I think this applies even if you do believe in reincarnation.) How to make the most of our time, our relationships, and ourselves - for me, these are the key questions that led me to become a marriage and family therapist. Along with traditional talk therapy, I use EMDR (if desired), as well as IFS, to help you work through present challenges and past difficult experiences so that you can live more freely in the here and now - unencumbered by old self-defeating beliefs and fears.

You don’t feel ready for what you’re going through. You may be facing hardship because of gender role non-conformity, capitalist abuses, queerness, poverty, racism, classism, misogyny, ageism, adultism. You are feeling more pain around being marginalized than pride in who you are. The feeling of “not - enough” is your long-time companion. The search for an identity that you can claim with confidence is a source of pain and confusion. You struggle to show-up for yourself in the face of perfectionism and White Body Supremacy that erases and destroys your uniqueness. You’ve frequently felt yourself to be an imposter.

The ideal clients I am reaching out to are interested in participating in teletherapy, either individually or as couples. Due to a number of breaking developments, I have decided to convert my long-running practice to online therapy. I have professional counseling licenses in Vermont, MIssouri, and Illinois. I work from Missouri. Furthermore, I am seeking clients who prefer to work outside of the insurance system. I am rebooting my practice to offer high-qualify and affordable therapy. If you are interested, all you would need is Skype or Zoom (both are free downloads). I am offering 45 minute sessions for $100.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or overwhelm? Do you find it difficult to move beyond past trauma, no matter how hard you try? Do you feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, struggling to connect with others or with yourself? If so, you are not alone. Trauma can profoundly shape the way we view ourselves and the world, making healing seem out of reach. But there is hope. As a licensed therapist specializing in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I work with women and LGBTQIA+ individuals to help them release the grip of past trauma and reclaim their sense of self.

I hope to be a soft place to land for my clients as they navigate their own journey in life and create a space where they feel comfortable to be vulnerable. I think of myself as a guide to walk beside folks through the harder times and also to emphasize and highlight their strengths as they work towards their goals. Whether you are feeling stuck, wanting to learn more about managing your anxiety, or healing from trauma I see my clients as whole people and focus deeply on our therapeutic connection. I believe that this relationship is central to the work we will do together.

Please note: I am keeping a short waitlist at this time. - - -
Being vulnerable and open can feel scary. I take a non-judgmental approach with all clients no matter what they bring to the therapy space. My style involves listening carefully, reflecting back, offering gentle challenges, and infusing all parts of the process with compassion (and sometimes humor!). My clients experience deeper insight, improved symptoms, and a sense that I am truly on their team, cheering them on. I aim to help you understand yourself better and explore how patterns of relating to others are impacting your life.

Hello and welcome. In this fast-paced world, I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space to process and explore life’s transitions, contradictions, and challenges. Together we will identify strategies to help you cope with stress and anxiety, heal from trauma, and increase your emotional awareness. With this awareness comes compassion, for self and others, and new possibilities for healing and growth. You have innate strengths, but might need help to recognize and apply them. Especially in the midst of change and life stressors, it's helpful to pause and take some time to reconnect with ourselves.

I believe that therapy or counseling is an effective tool for deepening a conversation with ourselves. Difficult relationships, painful experiences, traumas, pressures and expectations that come from others and sometimes from within ourselves can confuse and distract us from being able to fully engage with ourselves and our life circumstances.

I hold unconditional positive regard as the key to a great therapeutic relationship. I work to meet people where they are, to actively listen and understand their values, and to explore and support them to better connect with themselves and others. My goal is to help people cultivate loving acceptance of themselves, and gain insight of how the past impacts the present, while creating an awareness that the past doesn't have to dictate their present or future.

I work with individuals over the age of 18 who are seeking a space to safely engage in self-exploration. I see therapy as a process of exploring connections between past and present relationships, experiences, and emotional states in order to bring about opportunities for emotional healing and the reshaping of unhelpful stories about ourselves.
