I'm so glad you're here. I know the process of choosing a therapist can feel a bit, well, overwhelming – because quite frankly, you're trying to decide which random stranger you'll trust with your deepest, darkest secrets. You know – the ones you haven't even told your best friend from fourth grade who was the maid of honor at your wedding and is the godmother of your children. Yeah, those deepest, darkest secrets.
Who will you feel comfortable with?
Let's be honest, nothing sounds more painful than making awkward conversation for nearly an hour with a therapist who you totally don't click with. And, oh yeah, it'd be nice if they actually know what they're doing – because damn, therapy is expensive and you'd like to get it right the first time (or hell, maybe it's the second or third – no judgment here). I hear you, and that's why I'm taking some of the guesswork out of the equation so you know what you're getting with me.
I'm a native St. Louisan so I'll start with where I went to high school (IYKYK). Just kidding, not really. Parkway West.
I completed my undergraduate and graduate degrees at Saint Louis University. I'm a wife, mom of two boys and one fur baby, and I'm a slightly obsessed collector of vintage Pyrex. In my free time (because ladies, work-life balance should be a priority – but we'll talk about that later), you'll find me strolling through dusty antique shops or leisurely paddling my kayak down one of Missouri's gorgeous waterways.
To the rest of the world, you're perfectly put together.
As a therapist who has worked with women just like you for over 20 years, I get it. You're busting your butt every day to take care of everyone and everything.
You make it look easy peasy.
But you and I both know the superwoman thing is getting pretty damn exhausting.
What you're craving is a safe space where you can take off the cape for a while. A space where you can finally focus on you and only you. A space where you are free to explore what's on your mind and in your heart. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed with daily life, struggling with a specific problem, or carrying the weight of a past trauma, I'll be with you every step of the way.
My mission is to help you feel healthy, to have more energy and less stress, to feel balanced and in control of your emotions, to enjoy healthy relationships and a satisfying sex life, and to love yourself and your life.
unapologetically
