In Person Therapists in Fenton, MO

Often life events and personal stress can lead us to a point of pain, feeling that we have no control over the course of our lives or meaningful ways to cope. I would love to assist you with identifying personal strengths that will increase your ability to negotiate difficult emotions, stressors and life events. I will encourage you to grow, develop resilience and explore new ways of experiencing the world with a curious, thoughtful mindset. This curiosity leads to an increasing awareness of yourself, your needs and solutions for challenging issues.

I focus my practice on working exclusively with couples. Are you resentful, angry, bitter or confused by interactions with your significant other or do you want to learn how to better communicate and improve the quality of your relationship?

My positive strength based method uses a warm, safe, empowering and collaborative approach that is highly educational and nonjudgmental. Together lets break that toxic spiral of doubt, anxiety, sadness and resentment and start rebuilding something real.
