Stress Therapists in Des Peres, MO
The truth is life can be hard and things can be tough. We may feel down on our luck or even feel hopeless that things will never change. Depression, anxiety, sleepless nights, confusion and stress happen to the best of us and it is ok to reach out to a professional. It is normal to feel lost and uncertain sometimes on how to take a step forward towards living a more enjoyable life defined by your own terms. I believe reaching goals and true change can happen with the right mindset and tools, which I strive to help my clients develop in the most effective way!

I work with adolescent’s through adult age clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, stress, life changes, and self esteem.
I believe in providing a safe space for my clients to work towards their goals. By providing a safe space to open up about vulnerable topics my goal is to assist you in learning how to challenge maladaptive coping strategies and replace them with adaptive ones. In counseling the process to work towards change can be scary and difficult and that is why my number one goal as a therapist is providing a safe and inviting space to open up.I believe in using a person-centered approach, which means allowing you to guide the sessions. I have found that allowing you to build rapport and work towards your goals it fosters the most change.

The clients I serve are often in a moment of transition and are unsure what the path forward looks like. They are seeking clarity, as well as relief from their symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Clients I enjoy working with understand that therapy extends beyond our scheduled time, and may include setting goals and practicing skills that grow reflection, insight and behavior change. I have seen that therapy and coaching can lead to greater self-understanding and a deeper, more dynamic framework for managing modern life and changing how we relate with ourselves and others.

It can improve your response to stress, emotional regulation, and social engagement.
Maybe you feel on edge, like you can't relax, can't catch your breath. Stress builds in your body and you feel like a ticking time bomb. Or, maybe you feel shutdown, like you want to run and hide; stress has you feeling isolated, zoned out, and numb. Did you know that on a subconscious level, we are always looking for safety? Our individual nervous systems take in cues all around us and interpret them. Our own stories and unique wiring affect how these cues are understood, and directly impact how safe we feel in our bodies and in our world. I can help you feel more grounded, calm, and connected.

Whether you call the office or book online, this simple step is the start of real change—where you’ll finally get the support you need to manage your stress, heal, and find balance in your life.
Feeling overwhelmed and anxious, like you’re constantly juggling too many things but never really getting anything done? Your mind never stops, making it hard to focus at work and you’re falling behind. The mental load is overwhelming. At home, you find yourself snapping at your kids or withdrawing from your partner, leaving you feeling guilty and disconnected. Even when you’re around others, it can feel like you’re not really there—like you're just going through the motions. It’s exhausting to keep up appearances while inside you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, or past trauma that just won't let go.

Life is difficult. You can be coasting along, only to wake up and find you just don’t have the same kind of joy and excitement that you used to. Activities and being with people you used to enjoy now just feel dull and lifeless or fill you with anxiety and, no matter what you do, nothing changes. You have difficulty falling asleep and, when you finally do, you wake up feeling exhausted and unrested. Your relationships may often be defined by constant fighting, insecurity, or lack of connection and excitement. Issues of sexual integrity fill you with shame, and, no matter what you do, you continue to struggle.

I love working with best friends who are trying to get their sexual spark back. Many of my clients have been together for years and actually get along pretty well. They have good communication, they are partnered well and they treat each other with respect. However, they struggle to want to have sex with one another. They love each other and enjoy each other's time, but they struggle to take sexual chances, try new things and have fun in the bedroom. They essentially have "friend zoned" each other. My work is to help give these couples that special nudge to make sex a priority and enjoy sex again as a team.

It's getting harder and harder not to argue in front of the kids. Or, not to argue at all. You are feeling resentful and annoyed with your partner and your negative reactions happen faster than ever before. Plus, you don't want to rock the boat and almost any conversation you have right now turns into an argument. It feels like the person lying next to you in bed is only a roommate and you are lonely. You thought things were getting better but then one more fight sent you back to square-one of feeling alone and distant from each other. You are no longer playing the waiting/hoping game and are looking for change.

Sometimes, you just need someone to talk to. Not your mom, not your hairstylist, and even your friends might not want to be your therapist. I have the degree, license, and training to be a therapist, sure, but where I excel is in forming a relationship with YOU so I'm someone you look forward to chatting with on a regular basis. I am not a fan of anything stuffy or inauthentic, and connecting with clients and seeing real, positive change is my favorite part of the job. So whether it's anxiety, depression, or issues surrounding life changes like career decisions or having kids (or so many more things!), I'm your girl. Let's connect!

It feels like you're no longer connecting or not connecting in a way that feels fulfilling with yourself or your partner(s). You feel you have said everything you can to help the other person understand your needs and wants with hope that something will change. You don't know how it's gotten so painful. It's starting to feel a little helpless that you'll be able to have the connection you once hoped. You feel you need a safe place to explore current and past struggles to reunite the spark in yourself and/or together. Lets replace the ineffective strategies with new ways of seeing yourself and other important people in your life.
