Therapists in Barnett, MO

People who make a deep commitment to themselves to become emotionally healthy are willing to go to the lengths to learn about their emotional selves and to do what is required to release buried emotions. This is often an uncomfortable and difficult journey when you begin, but I promise you great joy once you've gotten over the first few hurdles. Once you make this commitment your journey to identify your issues and release buried emotions will become much easier. To think outside the box is to look further and to try not thinking of the obvious things, but to try thinking of the things beyond them. This is my greatest strength. Using my broad range of interests and experiences, I strive to have a unique perspective when approaching your issues. My goal is to offer you a dedicated, committed and passionate therapist, who formulates and employs creative coping skills to help you overcome life challenges. Being a motivating and inspirational mentor and coach, I help to instill successful performance in individuals and couples. As an instinctive and attentive listener, I will help you uncover your strengths and offer you a unique individualized plan of success.

I’m a therapist with over 20 years of experience and specialized training in grief therapy. I help people navigate all the messy, complicated emotions that come with grief—and let’s be honest, grief doesn’t just happen when we lose someone we love (including animals). It can also show up after a breakup, a job, a friendship, or even during major life transitions and crisis. Whatever your grief looks like, I’m here to support you as you figure out how to move forward. On a personal note, I was born with a birth defect, spina bifida and use a wheelchair full-time, which gives me a unique perspective on navigating life as a person with a disability. I understand some of the complexities and curveballs that come with it, and I’m here to provide a compassionate, understanding space for anyone on a similar path. My therapy style is laid-back and conversational. I use Person-Centered Therapy, which means I trust that you’re the expert in your own life, and I’m here to help you find your own answers. I also incorporate Brief Solution-Focused Therapy for when you’re looking for more immediate, practical tools. A few fun facts about me: I work from home, so you might hear or see one of my four dogs in the background. I love animals (and talking about them), and over the past few years, I’ve worked with many people grieving the loss of their furry (or feathered) family members. I’m also a firm believer that therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable and understood—no judgment, no pressure, just support. If you think I might be a good fit for you, I’d love to help you on your journey. And if for some reason I’m not the right therapist for you, I’ll do my best to help you find someone who is.

I have also worked with individuals working through anxiety, depression and those looking to increase self-esteem.

It is my intention to build a relationship with those seeking support and create a space for goal setting and movement toward those goals as defined by those I work with therapeutically.

Whatever the circumstances and motivation leading to seeking therapeutic support, it is important the have goodness of fit with the provider of your choosing. I look forward to the opportunity to engage and explore the thoughts, ideas and environment for healing, self-betterment and contentment.
