Female Therapists in Overland, MO

Life can deliver unexpected blows, leaving us on the ground. I understand—I've been there. The key lies in rising, in putting in the effort to grow stronger.

My goal as a therapist is to work with you to help identify and apply your strengths to create positive and sustainable change. I strive to develop an authentic relationship by creating a safe space for individuals to be heard, understood, and validated. I specialize in working with neurodiverse clients with ADHD, Anxiety, Autism and OCD and provide perinatal and postpartum mental health services for women. I am also passionate about working with parents to help them learn how to support their children across all stages of development.

Welcome, fellow Travelers---on the journey to your new beginnings! I enjoy working with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds and have experience in both hospital and school settings, in addition to private practice. My background includes working with survivors of abuse, those dealing with depression and anxiety, individuals working through grief and other life transitions. If you are ready to explore the next destination on your life journey, please contact me!

I am dedicated to building on the strengths of my clients to provide a secure place to help guide them into the journey of recovery and healing. I hold both state license and national board certifications. When working with clients, I encourage change and help navigate your journey to a better life. To experience a meaningful and purposeful life you must identify the negative things in your life that keep you “stuck”. When you eliminate problems, behaviors, and unwanted baggage you then can take control over your life. I specialize in working with clients dealing with trauma, addictions, and life crises.

Are you overwhelmed by the demands of your life? Do you feel anxious without knowing exactly why or how to address it? Maybe you worry about what’s next in life or are stuck in a loop in one of your relationships, repeating the same argument over and over. This could be complicated by ADHD, a life transition, or health challenges. I love helping clients who want to learn about themselves, actively address problems and heal wounds, as well as build skills and develop resilience to create the lives they want. I balance accepting who you are with gently challenging you to grow.

Welcome to my practice! Are you looking for a confidential & safe place to turn? Are you feeling ready to make some meaningful changes in your (or your child’s) life? I’ve been working as an LCSW since 1999, supporting and helping adolescents, young adults & adults effectively navigate emotional health and wellness challenges. I believe the key to beginning the healing process is in finding someone you can build a safe, honest and insightful therapeutic relationship with. We all need someone who genuinely listens and understands. Together we can determine next best steps.

Do you wonder if life should somehow feel better?
