Female Therapists in Kirkwood, MO
My ideal therapy client is someone who feels stuck and held back by past experiences, beliefs, or societal expectations. They may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or unfulfilling relationships and seek a change that feels authentic to them. They want to live consciously, align their actions with their true desires, and are ready to take that first step toward self-discovery. They’ve been told who they “should” be but yearn to break free from those constraints and become who they want to be. They desire quick, tangible relief and progress and are open to the idea that therapy can be a transformative, efficient, & empowering process

I work with teens and adults making decisions. Decisions like these require thought and conversation. Let's talk!

When a person grows up without the necessary attention from their caregivers, they may struggle sustaining positive relationships later in life. I see clients who are interested in changing their relationships to their loved ones, themselves, and their problems so that they may embrace the full potential of their best self. If you are looking for a therapist who is genuine, empathetic, and inquisitive, you have found the right match in me. My approach to therapy is grounded in humanitarian values, and I believe in treating my clients as a whole rather than a diagnosis.

Life is often challenging and confusing. We get stuck and don’t know how things can change or if it is possible. We are tired, discouraged, and feel alone. Maybe you have been trying so hard for so long, or don’t even know where to start. But you cannot keep doing what you’ve always done…I believe a relationship that is safe, compassionate, and collaborative is the foundation of change. I work hard to understand you—your story, your goals, and your barriers so that you feel seen and known. I will commit to walking alongside you wherever you are while I provide clarity, insight, and support as you grow closer to who you want to be.

You feel empty and ambivalent in your relationship with your partner. You’ve been together for so long that you have forgotten why you got together in the first place. Over the years, you’ve poured most of your time and energy into raising your kids, and now you find that you and your partner communicate about little else. Intimacy is non-existent, and you really wonder if you’re still compatible or if you even want the same things out of life. Despite all of this, though, you aren’t ready to give up on this life you’ve built together. You want to find your way back to your partner – you just don’t know how to get there.

Some of us have been taught to fear or push away certain emotions and parts of who we really are. We’ve been taught to disregard what our body and feelings are telling us in order to make others comfortable. While this might seem like the path to approval, it often leads to shame and disconnection. A way to combat these messages are to move towards authenticity and acceptance of all our parts. To learn to advocate for ourselves, heal from our wounds, and stand firm in who we are. I would be honored to work alongside you in the journey.
