I have been working as a clinician and an administrator for over 25 years. After gaining a Master's of Social Work, I worked in community mental health centers in Northern Arizona, Chicago, Missouri and Kansas. I have held roles as a case manager, therapist, clinical supervisor and an administrator overseeing operations of a community mental health center. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work at organizations across the country that focus on helping clients achieve wellness and balance in their lives. As a clinician, I am dedicated to providing personalized care to clients, and helping clients move towards wellness through the use of CBT, EMDR and other evidence based practices.

I look forward to meeting you and working with you.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
