Finding a therapist can be a daunting task, so the fact that you’re reading this already says a lot about the pursuit that you’re on. I’m not sure yet what’s motivating you to seek out therapy, perhaps it’s knowing who you want to be, or on the flipside, knowing who you don’t want to be. Maybe it’s to embrace some healing that’s long overdue, or fresh in your mind. Whatever the reason, my goal is to help you shift perspective(s) in order to look at your current situation in a way that will shed some light on new understandings and interpretations so you can begin to move freely in God’s good grace.
I find myself really excited working with male and female clients in their 20’s-50’s who are navigating through life’s difficulties and questions. I also enjoy working with couples who are striving to seek connection through better communication and attachment needs that may be unmet and out of view. I’m trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is a great modality for those feeling stuck in thought or behavioral patterns, or may be struggling with some (C)PTSD.
On a more personal note, my husband and I married in 2020, so by nature, I’m pretty good at having to plan weddings. We have two beautiful, wild and playful daughters who keep us on our toes. In our limited spare time, we also started a business in 2024 called Love, STL, that supports local and small businesses in the city that we love and call home. I have a Master’s degree in School and Clinical Counseling from Lindenwood University and a Doctorate in Teacher Leadership from Maryville University. I love making connections and supporting those both in my personal and professional life.
