I am a licensed professional counselor who works from a client-centered approach. My goal is to provide a warm and compassionate environment where you can feel safe to share and process your experiences. I think of counseling as a place to gain greater insight and self-awareness around core beliefs. I will work with you to identify patterns of maladaptive coping and learn healthier ways to cope with life's challenges. I received my bachelor's degree in psychology from Saint Louis University a...
Are you tired of feeling "not like yourself?" Life is not always easy. We come across challenges in our daily lives that are hard to cope with, causing us to feel stuck, confused, overwhelmed, or on edge. Transitions, such as going to college, starting a new career, or becoming a parent, can be welcome changes but can also be hard to manage. My background in both Social Work and Child Development gives me a unique, holistic perspective that informs my practice. I particularly enjoy using my know...

What is outpatient counseling? Our mental health is important in every stage of life, from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. It affects how we think, feel, act, handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Major life events, traumatic experiences, and even stress can significantly impact our ability to successfully function at seemingly easy daily tasks. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, then outpatient counseling may be for you. Outpatient counseling can help children, adults...
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...

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...
Beginning therapy can feel like an intimidating experience. We have this idea of an unknown place where a stranger makes us open up about some of our deepest innermost thoughts… and then what happens? I get it. I’ve had those same thoughts about beginning therapy. But, what if I told you therapy doesn’t have to be hard or intimidating? I believe therapy should be rewarding and even fun (for real)! As your therapist, I will support you as we uncover what it means to have a life worth living and f...

I enjoy working with students who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or stress related to life stressors and transitions. My approach to therapy is client-centered and uses a humanistic lens drawing upon person-in-environment theory. I offer a supportive space to talk through life's challenges and practice coping skills when life throws you curveballs. I believe that you are at the center of your experience, and you are the expert of your own life. I also believe that you are impacted by ...

I believe obstacles can be paths and hope to be of service to those who are struggling. The willingness to ask for help requires courage. I strive to provide guidance and support as we explore your inner strengths. I do not ask my clients to do anything that I would not do. I recognize my own fallibilities because I am human, too. Through collaborative work and a desire to push towards change, my goal is to aid in recognizing what you have control over in order to make the most of your time. ...

Finding a therapist who is "the right fit" is so important! Having graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2008 and having worked there for 7 years as well, I understand the challenges that students at elite universities can face - academic stress, perfectionism, anxiety, self-worth, family pressures, relationship issues, worries about the future, all the existential questions that can arise in the midst of new experiences, and more. If you are hurting and looking for help, yo...
