Life can feel like too much: too many demands, too many pressures, too little space to

just breathe. Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, a big life change, or a

nagging sense that something needs to shift, I am here to help you find your footing. I

bring warmth, humor, and a genuine belief that therapy works best when it feels

human. My background spans schools, community health, substance recovery, and a

psychiatric hospital, so whatever you are carrying, I have likely walked alongside

someone carrying it too. If you are curious about what it would feel like to work

together, let us find out.

If you're dealing with anxiety that won't let up, a life change that's left you off-balance, or relationship tension that keeps getting in the way — I can help. After 10 years as a school social worker in St. Louis, I know what it looks like when people are overwhelmed, and what it actually takes to move through it. Today I work with adults navigating similar territory: the pressure that builds quietly, the transitions that feel harder than expected, the moments in relationships that leave you stuck. My focus is on making therapy practical, grounded, and worth your time.

Hello and welcome! I want to commend you on taking this step toward self-care. Our mental health is just as important as our physical health yet sometimes it takes a back seat. As a clinician for almost 20 years, I have spent my career helping clients achieve their mental health goals.
