Loving your larger body is the shit. You don't need to take a quiz to know that society hating on large bodies has affected you. You may find yourself hating yourself, putting yourself down constantly, dieting, shifting the conversation back to other people so that you don’t have to talk about yourself, following all of the rules so that you don’t get hurtful critical feedback, putting everyone else’s needs first, or struggling to say no. If you're also LGBTQ+ in Missouri, you face even more hurdles. All of these things can add up to major feelings of unworthiness.

It’s ok to need time to figure things out-that’s what life is all about. I love working with teens as they grow and become their own unique, independent selves. I have dedicated my career to work with adolescents both in my role in public education and in private practice as a social worker.

Life can be really stressful for all of us. Add on top of that the childhood traumas that many people are still carrying, making it even more difficult to deal with the everyday stresses and demands of life. I love working with clients who are battling anxiety and unhealed trauma, and helping them get to the root of their anxiety and work to heal those traumas.

Therapy is for everyone. Being a kid is a hard job and being a parent isn't easy either. It can be lonely, isolating and overwhelming when you or your child is struggling. We aren't meant to struggle alone. My passion is helping kids, adolescents, and their families learn how to navigate big feelings, stress and overwhelm. I have dedicated my career to supporting children and parents in their journey toward social and emotional well-being. Do you need help understanding the IEP, 504, or gifted process at school? During my 15 years as a school counselor I helped many families walk through these steps.

Is your heart always racing? Are you suffering from headaches, belly aches, tension in your back or neck? Do you lack patience with your kids, partner, colleagues, friends? Let's be real, life is hard. When we become overwhelmed with daily stressors, chronic stress, or trauma our body is impacted. Sometimes we need someone who isn't related to us and has no judgments to talk to. Maybe you are facing a big life change, maybe an event is constantly replaying in your mind, maybe the daily stressors are adding up. There is hope!

I also understand that the issues are often about more than just money and that they take work to get to the root of.
