I welcome you to my office. I invite you to tell your stories, grieve your losses, wrestle for hope, explore your stuckness, seek healing for broken pieces, and discover who you are truly made to be.  It is my hope for you that our time together will become a space where you are known, received, and not ashamed as we walk a path toward the freedom you long for.  My personal experiences with counseling have invited me to these things.  I truly do enjoy my work and am committed to continued learning in human suffering and healing.

I transplanted to St. Louis in 2010, having spent most of my earlier adult life in Asia working cross-culturally. I began my work as a therapist in 2012 and became professionally licensed in 2014.  I have been married for 25 years and I have twenty-something daughters. When I’m not working, I’m re-discovering how to play.  I’m a lover of children’s literature, red maple leaves, and homemade guacamole. Looking for surprising discoveries on a new nature hike is one of my very favorite things to do! I’m a follower of Jesus who is teaching me to love in hard places. 

As a therapist, I seek to engage the whole person in front of me: mind, body, emotion, spirit. I utilize approaches including Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, Psycho-education, EMDR, the Enneagram, and Spiritual Formation.
