Therapists in Saint Peters, MO

I believe in a person-centered and holistic approach. I am passionate about leading clients through their pain to find their purpose and to lead an inspired life! My approach is a blending of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Person Centered, and Trauma Informed Therapies. I am trained in EMDR as well.

My ideal client is one who believes in actively participating in the therapeutic process. I believe that the client has all of the tools necessary for healing they just need to be encouraged and empowered to use them. I have worked with a host of mental/emotional issues; Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Paranoid Schizophrenia, Major Depression and Conduct Disorder. I also work with individuals who have issues with their sexuality;including homosexuality, lesbianism and bisexual relationships. I have witnessed a lot of success with children who have ADHD. I have worked well with adults suffering from Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder.

You're feeling like something is wrong. You're afraid this is what life is like now, your new normal. You don't recognize yourself. Maybe you don't know where or when things went left, maybe you do. Either way, you're angry and sad and confused. You're thinking it might be your fault.

Welcome! Perhaps you're here because you feel overwhelmed or consumed by your strong emotions; your own voice gets lost in the chaos. Perhaps you find yourself doing all of the work in your relationships while sacrificing so much for others and still feeling alone. Perhaps you prioritize the needs of others, to your own detriment, while compromising on boundaries in an effort to seek acceptance. You know you want authentic connection, but anxiety and depression cripple your ability to build the life you want. Your needs matter, and I would be honored to hold space for the parts of you that long to be heard.

Hello and welcome! As a counselor, I look forward to being a non-judgmental, collaborative support on your journey. My approach is warm and compassionate, and my goal is to assist you with identifying and exploring your own inner strengths as well as your hopes for the future. In discovering where you want to go, we can work together to process underlying issues that may be keeping you stuck and to develop strategies for change. I believe that everyone deserves and has the ability to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life, and that includes you!

Every person deserves the chance to create happiness from within themselves. As the therapist, I will work with the inner strengths of those individuals and help them navigate their life to become their truest self. My therapeutic practice is based on the client's individual needs. I believe that there is no one model to fit all people and the therapy should be molded to the client's individual goals.

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. To foster a warm, comfortable setting for you, I employ a compassionate, non-judgmental approach that offers a safe space for healing. Issues addressed in individual therapy may include: anxiety, depression, goal setting, personal growth plans, self-confidence building, emotional and binge eating, body image, codependency, narcissistic abuse, time management, and self-care.

Everyday life isn’t supposed to feel quite this hard or overwhelming, right? Maybe you wish you could manage your emotions or stress better.

Do you desire healing? I believe we all possess the skills we need to live a happy, fulfilled life, but sometimes need assistance to change the patterns of thoughts and behaviors standing in our way. I will help you identify unhealthy patterns, and work with you to achieve a more well balanced, healthy life. My areas of focus are working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions women's issues and couples counseling. Relationships are hard! In my work with couples I focus on identifying challenges, strengths between the couple and building the lines of communication.

I specialize in couples, working with those experiencing conflict, conflict-avoidance, infidelity/trust issues, communication problems, parenting/co-parenting struggles, and or when one or both partners experience depression, anxiety, or trauma. Relationships are the most important things in our lives, and when we get disconnected, everything in life can feel so much harder. I also see individuals who are struggling with self-worth issues, excessive worry, past history of trauma. Therapy can do a world of good, especially when life has been painful. I am dedicated to the therapy process, and help clients find hope and relief.

I received a bachelor degree in both psychology and sociology at the University of Missouri-Columbia and a Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
