Therapists in Kirkwood, MO

Sometimes life gets uncomfortable, and there may be days where it feels like you expend all of your energy just getting through the day. I will work with you to not only ‘look back’ at the choices, events or biological factors that may have caused the current distress or situation, but also gently guide you to a place of personal change and healing.

The journey of life can bring many changes and challenges. Navigating these challenges can sometimes take our emotions on a rollercoaster ride of feeling hopeless, mentally exhausted, and unsure of how to move forward. The extraordinary life you desire awaits! I’ll support you every step of the way!

Hello there! Often taking the first step to decide to go to therapy is a big decision and I am here to help you and walk beside you in your path towards working to address your concerns. I work with adolescents and adults with concerns ranging from current life issues, relationship issues, or ongoing lifelong issues. I offer openness and collaboration to those I work with and see therapy as a collaborative effort between the client and therapist.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, self-doubt, feeling stuck in the past or waiting for the ‘other shoe to drop?’ Are you wanting to gain insight, learn coping strategies, and resiliency? Change is possible, and we all possess the capability to heal and thrive. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and past experiences. Therapy is a highly individualized process and I am dedicated to creating a non-judgmental space where you can explore, heal, and grow. It would be an honor to be present and assist you on your journey.

Unbeknownst to many, the stigma associated with therapy is lifting. Society is learning and realizing overall health needs to be a non-negotiable. My passion lies in supporting/educating clients on what trauma actually is (and is not) and how to effectively heal. My ideal client is ready to do some hard work and is willing to be challenged. You are curious and brave enough to look inside and identify road blocks, get honest with self, work on vulnerability, improve awareness, and face your fears. Together, we will identify and dig out the roots that no longer serve you and cultivate a healthier and more fulfilling path.

Hi there, I am here to help you. I work with individuals, couples, and families with struggles ranging from current life issues, relationship struggles, and issues that have been a lifelong battle. Clients often come to me because they have hit the lowest point and have never felt more alone, even after trying therapy countless times before. Many clients have left counseling finding resolution and a drive to live their life to the fullest. My clients have expressed finding healing, feeling equipped to manage life, and having healthier relationships and connections with others that they previously thought weren't possible.

Our mental health is impacted by our physiology as well as a variety of environmental factors. My approach as a therapist is to get to know you and your unique story very well. In the process, we identify which parts play what role and how best to heal. I work collaboratively with you to optimize functioning, restore inner peace and find happiness. Allow me to help you along on your healing and growth journey.

I specialize in mental health issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, learning disabilities, physical disabilities (including sudden onset), hearing loss, stress management, divorce and employment-related issues, including career changes and job loss.

Are you looking for more clarity, insight, or healing? People often seek help or feel the need for change at a crossroads or while facing a challenging life situation. As your therapist, I will help you navigate situations like this while also allowing you to explore a deeper and more purposeful connection with yourself through a safe, meaningful therapeutic relationship. It's challenging to find someone with whom you can relate and connect while processing what is going on in your life. My goal is to help adults and couples get to the root of the issues that affect their daily lives and relationships.

Life can be tough, with many bumps along the way; additional support systems can only make it more manageable. I am here to provide nonjudgmental, client focused support through whatever challenge you are currently battling. Together, we can create positive coping skills you can utilize in everyday life, and address any areas you are interested in discussing. My goal is to provide a supportive therapeutic relationship, validate your experiences, work towards a resolution to underlying trauma, and empower you to be in control of your mental and physical health.

When you think of a well-rounded individual, the first thing you may think about is someone who is happy with their life and rolls with whatever life brings them. More often than not these days life has had some pitfalls. There is no reason to be ashamed.
