Therapists in Kirkwood, MO

Sometimes we all feel a little bit broken, we can get so caught up in what's going wrong or what's not working. Sometimes life get's hard, too much stress at home or work, relationship issues, grief and loss, addiction, depression, anxiety or feeling like we have just lost our way. No matter what is going on, you have taken that first step and you have come to the right place.

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.

Do you or your child or teen feel overwhelmed, anxious, less confident, not understood or sad and just need someone to talk to. We want gravitate to others who get it and have a desire to feel relief when we have all the feelings. We have goals in life to be more capable, courageous, feel connection and feel like we matter. What if we could work together to work through your feelings and goals and in turn produce positive behavior change?

Change takes time and hard work, and frequently also requires compassion, perspectives, and ideas from outside our own minds. Therapy is one way to help make the changes you want in your life. Using compassion-focused therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and solution-focused models, I help adolescents and adults practice ways to move away from self-defeating behaviors into more peace.

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.

Serious and chronic illness, difficult life transitions, or the profound grief you experience with the loss of a loved one – it can leave us feeling depressed, anxious, angry, confused, isolated, and lost. A lot of the time, we acclimate and move right along, but other times, it throws us completely off course. When the unthinkable happens to you, how do you get to a place where you feel safe, content, and at peace? Whatever your therapeutic goals may be, you deserve to feel heard, understood, and validated.

Many of us are hurting within, unsatisfied with our current emotional state, or wish for better connections with others. Whether you are an individual, couple, or in a family unit, we all have some form of pain. Maybe it is because of a childhood trauma, or dealing with individuals within our family who are affected by mental illness. I work with couples and families learn how to find their strengths and resources to solve challenging issues within their daily lives. I can provide you with the tools that will help you cope with current and future emotional challenges.

I work with individuals with a variety of mental health diagnosis and concerns. Some people come to counseling to process a traumatic event, some come to talk about the stress they're experiencing at their job, and some come just to learn about why they haven't been feeling their best emotionally lately. If you feel like you could even pinpoint exactly why you feel how you do, but it just doesn't make it better, I'm the counselor for you. I don't just help you figure out why, I help you DO something with what you learn about yourself so you can move past any barriers you have.

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.

Specializing in adolescent, adult, and family therapy, my mission is to help you and your family live your best lives—to close the gap between your "real self" and your "ideal self". To reduce conflict. To overcome negative behavioral patterns. To gain self-awareness, emotional insights, and regulation. To help you live in alignment with your values. Whatever your goals, I'm here to help you reach them—fully, presently, and with 100% commitment to you and this process.

I often say, counseling can be a bit like cleaning out a closet. You have to take things out, go through and organize them, and then put them back where they need to go. In a similar fashion, counseling can be messy, but with time and hard work, can lead to healthier, more enjoyable living. Throughout this life, we all have our individual struggles and hardships, but we weren't meant to carry them alone. No matter who you are or what you've been through, there is hope. In our sessions together, I strive to come alongside you in the pursuit of that hope and restorative healing.

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.
