Therapy can do more than relieve symptoms; it can alter a life’s course. People often come to me feeling caught between what they think and what they feel, struggling with worry, loss, disconnection, or the loss of meaning. Our work may involve facing what has felt too painful to confront, understanding patterns that repeat, and rebuilding a sense of trust in oneself and others. I’m best suited to those who sense that their difficulties arise not only from circumstance, but from the meanings the...

Greetings! Welcome and thank you for considering me as your therapist. It is said that the reason two antelope walk side by side is to blow the dust from each other's eyes (African proverb). In today's world, it seems harder than ever to find clarity in the midst of chaos. Living with unaddressed chaos and unresolved pain can leave us feeling stuck and disconnected from those who love us and who may be able to help us. Sometimes, due to life circumstances, we struggle to find our way back to our...

Hello and welcome. I know finding the right therapist can be a daunting task. I hope to simplify that process for you. I currently have openings in my schedule and will do my best to respond to all inquiries within 24 hours. I offer free 10-15 minute initial phone calls to help determine whether it's a good match. I offer a non-judgmental, strengths-based, collaborative approach to therapy. I specialize in working with neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, OCD, etc.) teens, young adults, college stu...

Do you struggle with chronic or treatment-resistant depression or anxiety? Do you have high standards for yourself or others that are sometimes impossible to live up to? When others are having fun and relaxed, is it hard for you to join in? If any of the above apply to you, then we might be a great therapeutic match! My name is Caroline, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Missouri. Trained by the treatment developers at the Radically Open Institute, I specialize i...

I work with children, adolescents and adults who come with a range of concerns. Many are challenged with depression, anxiety and/or relationship concerns. For many, a history of trauma is at the root of their struggles. Working together to better understand the origin of one’s symptoms can foster healing and growth. Those with a history of trauma have much to gain from such an approach....

You feel overwhelmed by the high expectations you’ve set for yourself, stuck in thoughts of how you should have done better. Anxiety and self-criticism weigh you down, fueled by a constant drive to be perfect. It’s exhausting, disconnecting—and no, you can’t just “relax.” But you’re ready for change. Ready to slow the racing thoughts, silence the inner critic, and show up with compassion, not judgment. You want to feel connected again—to life, to your friends and family, and yourself. I want to ...

Life gets crazy, and sometimes we just need a safe space where we can speak from the heart. I'm here to hold that space with you and meet you wherever you are in life. I also specialize in supporting people who are struggling with anxiety, OCD, and depression. Over time, my clients begin to feel more empowered to lead with their values rather than their fears. As a second-generation Asian American, I also bring a culturally informed perspective to therapy. To me, therapy is when we practice b...

I welcome the individual that is curious to understand the myriad of feelings, patterns and issues in one's life. I create space to be known and understand the self. Young adulthood is a time of discovery, to figure out how you want to be. Old defenses and coping skills may not be working as well. My professional interests are broad when it comes to the human condition including grief and loss, relationships and transitions. I work through a relational psychodynamic strength-based attachmen...

If you’re here, it’s probably because you’re ready to make some changes in your life. Maybe you’re struggling to form deep and meaningful relationships. Maybe you’re tired of constantly making to-do lists but never finishing them. Or maybe you’re tired of being plagued by indecision and self-doubt. As a licensed professional counselor, I’ll help you let go of perfectionism, people pleasing and other related anxieties. I’m a perfectionist therapist who loves working with high achievers, anxiou...

I believe "the right" therapeutic relationship is the key to successful therapy. Working collaboratively, the client and I create a safe and supportive environment in which the client may address issues and behaviors, explore difficult emotions, cope with life events, resolve conflict, and identify relational patterns. My passion lies in facilitating clients in their journey toward personal growth and self-discovery. My goal is to help others gain control of their lives and inner strength by bet...

From the very beginning, with sensitivity and compassion, I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space in which you can express thoughts, feelings, dreams, and desires that you may feel unable to share elsewhere. I believe that constructive change occurs when we work collaboratively to develop insight into your current struggles; only then can we find ways to help you move forward. I have experience and interest in working with people with anxiety, trauma histories, and relationship issue...

I work with people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change—people who want to feel confident, connected, and in control of their lives. Many of my clients are seeking support for depression, anxiety, eating disorders, body image concerns, relationship challenges, or low self-esteem. My goal is to help you move toward a healthier, fulfilling version of yourself. Many of my patients are readers. When desired, I suggest novels that offer insight, perspectives, or emotional connectio...

I work with those who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and not taking care of oneself first. Trauma comes in many forms and may not always look like what you'd expect. I also work well with caregivers and other helpers who experience compassion fatigue, along with those who find themselves giving more than they receive in their relationships. No matter the circumstances that bring you into therapy, we will spend time on how to set boundaries, tune in to your need...

I have worked with students in various settings (including at WashU) for many years. Because of these experiences, I understand the complexity of the student experience and the unique challenges facing the WashU population. My clients tend to struggle with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, thoughts of suicide, relationship issues, and developing/understanding their identity. I spend my free time running, baking, reading, and being with my family. I also love cats, comedy, and cold brew cof...

Human existence is unique for each of us, and that means a uniquely tailored approach to therapy is important. Taking a one-size-fits-all approach negates the fact that we are naturally complex beings. My therapy approach is practical, compassionate, easygoing and down-to-earth. In my practice, I draw from my training in various evidenced based approaches to provide effective treatment for everyone I work with. That said, I also rely heavily on my own intuition to help guide our work togethe...
