Limited sliding scale available - I work with individuals who struggle with trauma, relationship problems, and not taking care of oneself first. Trauma is anything that felt too big to handle at the time and continues to come back to haunt you today. This means trauma can come from many different life experiences. I find that many of my clients have attachment and relationship trauma that continues to affect their present day relationships. We will spend time healing your wounds to help you grow into the person you wish to be, with a stronger sense of safety within yourself, your relationships, and the world you live in.

Are you looking to make a change but keep getting stuck in old, unsatisfying patterns? Is there a life transition (for example, opening up a relationship or a later-in-life coming out) you're having trouble with? I'm a queer therapist passionate about working with people who want support in navigating life's complexities. Together, in a non-judgmental space, we will find approaches that work to repair attachment wounds, address past traumas, and get curious about limiting beliefs so you can live a more expansive and authentic life.

I specialize in helping individuals heal low self-esteem and its debilitating consequences- anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, people pleasing, and co-dependency. Feeling like you are not good enough? You’re not alone! Low self-esteem is a core issue for many who seek therapy. You may struggle with healthy relationships, find constructive criticism overwhelming, have poor boundaries, lack assertive communication, and have low performance at work/school. Living with low self-confidence and its effects is exhausting. It really IS possible to love yourself, speak kinder to yourself, and to end feelings of shame/guilt. I can help!

I like to see my clients reach their full potential by focusing on their strengths. Letting them know they are not alone and with my help and support they can live happy successful lives.

Welcome to Roots of Integrity Counseling, LLC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Missouri. Taking the first step toward healing takes a great deal of courage, and I want to applaud you on taking a step toward making yourself and your wellbeing a priority. It is a true privilege to support you throughout this journey. I am dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and validated. I believe in the 3 C’s: Challenge. Choice. Change. – Challenge by Choice. Challenge creates Change. Choose the Challenge.

Are you struggling to find meaning and purpose in your life? Maybe you struggle with negative, self-defeating thoughts and beliefs that may cause depression and/or anxiety.

Perhaps you're in a relationship, family or job where it feels like everything is always your fault. You're made to feel not good enough, that you have to try harder despite the other never taking accountability. You have difficulty expressing yourself in fear of the other person throwing it back in your face. Perhaps this mounting pressure from those relationships has made you give up, anxious, or just feel stuck. You don't know who you are anymore—you’ve been told how to think and feel. You may feel like you’re in a fog or just don’t know how to get back on track to the way things used to be.

Our past experiences may shape us, but they don't have to define our lives. Sometimes painful memories, emotions, or even our own behavior can feel like a heavy weight we've been carrying for a long time. This weight can hold us back and can make life feel overwhelming. It can lead to problems in our relationships, unwanted thoughts and behaviors, or disconnection from ourselves and the things in life that matter most. It can feel impossible at times to free ourselves of this burden alone. I'm here to offer hope; hope that this weight can be lifted.

Feeling on edge? Having difficulty connecting meaningfully with others? People get stuck in cycles and problems can snowball. Figuring out what needs to change and how to do it can be confusing and demoralizing. Together, we will clarify what's most important to you and how to live a more whole-hearted life.
