As a licensed therapist in Missouri, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical focus centers on addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and grief. I am deeply committed to helping clients work through challenging experiences like isolation, shame, guilt, and panic attacks.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and personalized, emphasizing self-love, healing from past wounds, and developing healthy coping strategies. I understand the unique challenges faced by individuals struggling with substance use, and I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences and build resilience.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with clients to help them reclaim their sense of control, process difficult emotions, and move toward meaningful personal growth. My goal is to provide a safe, affirming space where individuals can heal, discover their inner strength, and transform their lives.
Additional areas of focus: Abandonment, Control issues, Drug and alcohol addiction, First responder issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Hearing impaired, Impulsivity, Isolation / loneliness, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Post-traumatic stress, Self-love
