I’m an affirming, open-minded therapist who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, panic, stress, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and major life changes. I also support clients dealing with maternal mental health concerns, including the emotional weight that can come with pregnancy, postpartum changes, infertility, and adjusting to a new season of life.
Since earning my master’s in 2021, I have worked in mental health with both children and adults in settings including crisis care, which has deepened my understanding of how overwhelming life can feel when symptoms start affecting your relationships, confidence, and daily routine. My goal is to offer a space that feels warm, approachable, compassionate, and real.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in St. Louis
Searching for therapists in St. Louis starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want to focus on. Therapists may support people with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare St. Louis therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or support for a specific life stage. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what sessions may focus on, and who they often work with.
St. Louis offers therapy options across neighborhoods like Central West End, Benton Park, Tower Grove, and nearby areas, as well as virtual appointments with Missouri-licensed therapists. Some people prefer an office that fits their commute or daily routine. Others choose virtual therapy in St. Louis for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a strong fit.
Therapy in St. Louis can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you filter by preferences like location, specialty, availability, and appointment format. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
