I am a Christian counselor. I like to watch the Lord transform lives and bring order to the chaos in our lives. I am a grief specialist. I've been helping people walk through grief for almost 15 years. It's not 'goodbye' forever, it's just 'goodbye' for now. There is peace in knowing Jesus and that faith brings comfort in all types of struggle.
I work with Clients who may be struggling with anxiety, OCD and issues related to school, relationships or family. I am trained in SPACE therapy which teaches parents how to provide support to their children so that they can be successful in controlling their own emotions.
I help my clients see patterns in their thoughts and behaviors that they may not recognize. You’ll learn coping skills and how to reframe unhealthy thought patterns, DBT skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness techniques to reduce anxiety.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in the state of Missouri.
I'm glad you found your way here. I'm a dedicated therapist with a passion for helping individuals discover a life worth living. My therapeutic approach is centered around creating a strong therapeutic alliance, practicing unconditional positive regard, empathy, and creating a space where you can be vulnerable and feel validated as you work through challenges. I have developed a niche for working with self-harm, mood disorders, personality disorders, and trauma.
Many of the people I work with are successful, dependable, and high functioning on the outside- but privately they're carrying anxiety, unresolved trauma, burnout, ADHD or patterns that leave them feeling stuck despite their best efforts. I help adults move beyond coping and begin creating meaningful, lasting change.
I believe lasting healing begins with understanding, not judgement. My goal is to help you make sense of the experiences that shaped you, recognize the patterns that no longer serve you, and develop new ways of responding with greater confidence, clarity and self-compassion.
I have dedicated my career to helping others since graduating from Truman State University in 1994 and later earning my Master's degree from Lindenwood University. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about supporting individuals and families through life's challenges while helping them discover hope, healing, and resilience.
My experience in the social services field has provided me with the opportunity to work with a diverse range of populations and settings, including juvenile services, foster care, behavioral schools, residential treatment facilities, substance abuse programs, and career development services. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the unique challenges people face and strengthened my commitment to ensuring that everyone has access to quality mental health care.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am trained in several evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, DBT, CBT, and TF-CBT. Because every person's journey is unique, I tailor my approach to meet each client's individual needs, drawing from a variety of therapeutic tools to help them achieve meaningful and lasting change.
Together, we work to build on existing strengths, develop healthy coping skills, and create pathways toward emotional wellness and personal growth.
When I am not working, I enjoy being the proud mother of two wonderful young men. I am actively involved in my church and community and cherish spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy watching basketball, swimming, and taking advantage of every opportunity to enjoy the sunshine and warm-weather activities.
Clients often describe me as approachable, practical, and easy to talk to. Therapy should be a collaborative process, and I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself without fear of judgment. My style balances support with practical problem-solving, helping clients gain insight while also developing strategies they can use in everyday life. Above all, I want you to feel heard, understood, and supported as we work toward your goals together.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Saint Peters, MO
Searching for therapists in Saint Peters starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want care for. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, or support after major changes at home or work. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed therapy, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their style of care.
In a smaller city like Saint Peters, the local pool of therapists may be more focused than in nearby larger markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Missouri. Some people prefer an office visit, while others choose virtual care for evening availability, Saturday appointments, or less travel time. Before booking, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers a schedule that fits your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation so you can get a clearer sense of fit.
Therapy in Saint Peters can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, review detailed bios, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Saint Peters, compare availability and specialties, 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.
