Great to meet you!

If you've been holding things together for a long time, staying steady for everyone around you while quietly wondering if you're actually okay, you're not alone in that. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of stress that builds up before you realize how heavy it's gotten. My background is in school counseling. I spent nearly a decade sitting with young people through the things nobody sees: family pressure, identity questions, the weight of not knowing what comes next.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and grounded. I adapt to what you need because good therapy meets you where you are, not where you're supposed to be. Sessions are conversational, warm, and direct.

What you can expect from me

If you're ready to have a space that's actually yours, I'd love to connect. I offer virtual sessions throughout Missouri and I'm currently accepting new clients. Reach out through Psychology Today to schedule a free consultation.
