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 worse 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 earned 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.
I once participated in a 20-mile kayak race on the Missouri River. Did I medal? Nope. Did I feel like a badass? You bet.
MY APPROACH
I'll help you untangle the knots.
You deserve a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Life can be overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling multiple roles—whether it’s at work, at home, or in your relationships. Everyone's counting on your and you’re expected to hold it all together. And on most days, you pull it off like a freaking rockstar.
But on the inside, everything feels like a tangled mess. My goal is to help you unravel the threads of your unique story. ​I combine traditional talk therapy with Brainspotting, a powerful mind-body therapy that allows us to get to the root of what’s been bothering you. We won’t just focus on surface-level coping strategies. You've already tried those. Instead, we’ll dive deep into the patterns and emotions that have kept you stuck in that tangled knot. Together, we’ll work on healing old wounds, navigating present challenges, and designing a future you love.
