Are you always pouring into everyone else while running on empty yourself?

You may feel anxious, low, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself as you struggle to make time for your own needs. Therapy can help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, build confidence, and learn how to care for yourself without feeling guilty.

I work with women 18+ (Missouri & Oklahoma based) who are navigating depression, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, life changes, and learning how to take better care of themselves. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and centered around the belief that you know yourself better than anyone. Together, we can explore what you're experiencing and identify what you need.

You deserve support—not just when you're at your breaking point, but while you're learning how to care for yourself, too. Ready to take the next step? Book a consultation call, and let's see if we're a good fit.

I don’t believe therapy should feel scripted, and I don’t expect every client to need the same thing from me.

We’ll start with what is happening in your life right now and adjust our work based on your needs, goals, and preferences.

Anxiety, depression, and chronic stress may be the concerns that initially bring you to therapy, while trauma and identity concerns can sometimes add another layer to what you are carrying.

We’ll explore those connections without losing sight of what matters most to you. I may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you recognize patterns in your thoughts and behaviors, Motivational Interviewing to explore change at your own pace, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to identify achievable next steps, and Strength-Based approaches to recognize abilities and resources you may be overlooking.

Sessions can include processing difficult experiences, strengthening boundaries and self-care, developing coping strategies, and identifying practical ways to support your mental health between appointments.

Before we decide what needs to change, I want to understand what you need from therapy and from the person sitting across from you.

Our first conversations will focus on where you are in this season of life, what brought you to therapy, what has or has not worked for you before, and what would help you feel safe and supported in our work together.

I’ll also want to understand your preferences so we can make sure our relationship feels like a good fit. From there, we’ll establish goals together and identify practical steps toward them. You can expect warmth, engagement, and questions that help me understand you as a whole person rather than simply a diagnosis or set of symptoms.

Progress might mean managing anxiety more effectively, feeling more engaged with life during depression, responding to stress without becoming overwhelmed, establishing healthier boundaries, strengthening yourself care, or feeling more secure in who you are. When you’re ready, you can use Headway to review your insurance information and schedule a first session.
