I believe that understanding your own story is one of the bravest, most courageous things you can do. Everyone has their unique journey and story to tell, but how we deal with certain roadblocks is not always as straightforward. Taking that story and turning it into your strength is an even bigger feat. I often use Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and CBT in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and later decide the most appropriate ways to help you ma...
I have been in practice for 45 years, helping individuals, couples and families. My approach is rooted in family systems, attachment theory and is trauma-informed. For 35 years I have studied, practiced and taught T'ai Chi and Qigong and integrate these ancient tools into modern psychotherapy. I also offer experiential ways to help 'rewire' your nervous system for more balance and peace using Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping, eye movements, and sounds) as well as Equine-Assisted Psychotherap...

I am here to listen and to help you feel supported. Let’s work together to help you find more successful ways to utilize your current strengths and ...

Compassionate Counseling St. Louis offers therapy for anxious college students. You’re juggling your classes, your clubs, your job, your internship applications, and you barely have time to just stop and think. When you do - if you do - you feel this pressure to do more. Because if you’re not doing as much as possible, maybe it means you’re failing, and maybe it means you’re not proving yourself and proving your worth to others. College anxiety, overwhelm, and perfectionism is super common...
My passion is working with older teen/ younger 20s clients. In my experience I have really enjoyed helping clients work through who they are becoming in adulthood while understanding the best thing about being an adult is YOU get to choose what your life looks like and who you surround yourself with. The decisions you make while going through this season of life truly do have a large impact on what the rest of your life will look like. I enjoy teaching clients new healthy coping skills so they c...

I have specialized training in traumatic stress and addiction and use an attachment focused perspective taking special care to understand present difficulties in the context of early relational experiences. As a therapist I believe that symptoms resulting from stressful life experiences can be treated using validated scientific interventions. Addiction can often accompany traumatic stress. In an effort to cope, individuals frequently find themselves trapped by the comforting yet costly effects o...
I believe that every person holds the power and resources necessary to find happiness. As a trans woman I understand both the external and the internal forces that create self-doubt and spike fear—the loneliness, the separateness, and the tailspin of uncertainty. I know, too, from professional and personal experience that self-acceptance and happiness are within everyone. Science upholds this belief, telling us that those who seek help benefit from it. For me this is not a theory, but the p...
