My practice provides Individual, Couples, and Premarital counseling throughout the Saint Louis Area. I have been helping individuals, couples, and families for over seven years. I have been providing counseling in the Ferguson and Florissant area since 2006. I love helping people recognize their strengths and grow in mind, body, & spirit. Counseling can help reduce conflict, decrease stress, and increase overall health.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, angry or confused, there is hope. I help my client's work through difficult life situations using a holistic and cognitive-behavioral approach. When problems arise people do their best to work through them, but sometimes they need help developing new coping skills. I can help you develop new ways of coping and thinking strategies to assist you in moving forward and achieving personal growth.

Do you need help managing anxiety, depression, or stress? Are you having difficulty with anger? Do you have a child that needs assistance with college preparation? Do you want to live a healthier lifestyle but you are unsure in how to begin? If so, please contact me for an appointment. I am a dedicated therapist that loves to see my clients develop in their mental awareness. I will help you resolve the issues that are built up on the inside. I will not promise that therapy will be easy and that all sessions will be happy, but I will say that you as my client will learn coping skills to deal with everyday life stressors. Therapy is my passion and strive to make each session worthwhile. My clients' well-being is important to me and my goal is to make sure that each client knows this. I work with clients from preteens through elderly. I also provide therapy for families, groups, and couples. Because of this I have a wealth of knowledge in assisting people in different stages of life. As a therapist, this is important because depression at age 13 looks totally different than depression at age 35. The two would not be able to be treated in the same manner. All in all, I look forward to working with you and hope to see you soon!

Specialties: Business Owners & Executives, Pornography Addiction, Work-Life Balance, Stress, Vulnerability, Being Content, and Communication. Every human being needs to feel connected, to experience and know that they matter, and to feel like they belong. When we experience a deficit of our needs, it tends to create anxiety, depression, pain, numbing, avoidance, shutting down, shame, hurt, resentment, defensiveness, co-dependency, and many more struggles. I use a holistic approach and when working with clients, we explore them as a whole person: mentally, emotionally, spiritually (existential, purpose, or a higher power), professionally, physically, and relationally. We are complex beings and have incredible value and so the sacred therapeutic space should reflect that.

I am a psychotherapist who’s style is open, honest, warm, and down to earth! I derive from many theoretical approaches-mostly person-centered and solution-focused theories. I exhibit sensitivity and compassion towards your life challenges and strongly believe that there are workable solutions to all circumstances. I am available to assist you with your present lifestyle, set goals, and formulate a workable treatment plan. Along with the clients motivation and cooperation, we will work together to discover your strengths and abilities and apply those gifts towards your everyday life so that you may reach your full potential. With the client as an active participant, we will work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and conflicts so that you will intentionally stay motivated for change and success. I am available as your psychotherapist to assist you as you face certain circumstances and difficulties in your life. Even though there are many circumstances that come up in our lives some which are beyond our control, we eventually have to intentionally find a way to maintain balance and move forward in life. Please remember, in order to be successful, one must think and act successful! Psychotherapy is about intentionally taking the time out for yourself to develop and evolve into your personal best. There are many individuals whom have learned coping strategies and techniques to overcome the most challenging circumstances in their life. You can be one of those individuals in this journey. Take charge of your life!! Give yourself the quality time needed to intentionally change your life so that you may have a life filled with growth, hope, love, and joy.

I have been practicing therapy with individuals and families for several years. I have extensive training and experience treating eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and compulsive exercise) in both residential and outpatient settings, along with generalized anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. I work with a range of clients, including those actively struggling with addiction or eating disordered behavior, self-injury, or OCD, along with clients working toward maintaining their recovery. I welcome the challenge of working with clients who have endured multiple lapses in their recovery process, because I understand recovery and personal growth is not only not linear, but is a lifelong journey. I also love working with clients who are seeking to understand themselves and their patterns on a deeper level. Whether you feel you are at a crossroads in life, wonder why you continue to experience failed or dissatisfying relationships, or simply value the insight and connection of a therapeutic relationship, I would be honored to assist you on your path. I believe and understand that all behavior is symptomatic of a deeper emotional wound, and one can not change their behavior in the present without resolving what is in the past. In all of my work, I utilize an attachment-based model based on the brilliant research of professionals like Pat Crittenden, Jeffrey Young, and Mary Ainsworth. I can assist you in identifying old attachment injuries and finally finding relief and acceptance of these wounds as you actively work toward changing your patterns in the present.
