Whether you are working to better manage anxiety or depression, or are currently navigating life changes, I am here to help. I am passionate about helping clients better understand their ‘Self’ through strengthening their self-worth and recognizing their resiliency. In addition to working with teenagers 16+ and adults of all ages, I love working with local college students, especially since I graduated from Mizzou (M-I-Z) not overly long ago. I remember the stress, anxiety, and daily grind it takes to navigate college and am here to help you do the same!

You are emotionally and mentally exhausted; and ready to throw in the towel. You and your spouse rarely talk to each other these days. And when you do talk, it is nothing more than shrugs, one-word answers, spiteful words, and bored eye rolls. Mortgages, finances, kids, college expenses, retirement - all these subjects cause friction and have created walls between the two of you that feel insurmountable. To the outside world you appear as a "put together" family; but inside the walls are crumbling and you feel a shadow of your former selves.

All this business of being human is downright hard. Maybe you are a grown adult who sometimes feels like a child on the inside, with needs and demands that make you feel weak and ashamed. Maybe you're so busy caring for others that you don't have the chance to truly care for yourself. Maybe you're lonely in your relationship or within your family. Maybe you're cautiously considering making a huge change in your life and having doubts. We all want to find peace and clarity, and to escape the stream of negative self-criticism that churns inside of us. We all have a fundamental human need to feel connected, accepted and understood.

At times, we all find ourselves pushed to the limits of what we can cope with. We work hard to escape familiar, painful cycles, only to end up where we began. Some of us are attempting to salvage marriages with spouses we dearly love, yet with whom we continue to engage in the same old arguments, losing hope that we can ever recover the connection we once had. Others may be battling crippling anxiety or trying to shake the cloud of depression that darkens our every step. We are left exhausted, discouraged, and hopeless.

Feeling disconnected from your partner, like you are living parallel lives? We are social creatures and desire connection with others. You may be feeling hurt, confused, or stressed and need the support of someone that can listen and help you navigate the needs and wants of the relationship while learning the skills to resolve conflict. I will help you to learn to understand what your partner is saying, to put the message into words you can hear. Resolving the miscommunications can lead to clarity. Learning to communicate with one another, being heard, and getting needs met are common goals of the clients I work with.

We spend our whole lives learning to communicate. Some of us have been taught to withhold our emotions as children & we sometimes find our adult selves struggling to express the emotions to articulate how we truly feel. I work with adults who seek to understand how the conscious & unconscious subtle nuances of what was modeled to us as children often shapes the way we interpret our relationships with others and ourselves. Do you find yourself trying to save or "fix" people & neglect your own needs? Do you worry about past failures & struggle to see the strengths of who you are because you're so focused on those mistakes?

I seek to honor the complexity of the unique human experience through a holistic approach to therapy. I work with clients hoping to feel more alive and whole. We all feel stuck at times, noticing ourselves repeating the same behaviors and finding ourselves in the same type of relationships, even if a part of us knows they no longer serve us.
