About My Clients
Externally, you appear hard working, ambitious, high-achieving, and organized - you seemingly have it all together. But internally, you’re overwhelmed and paralyzed by perfectionism, fear of failure and self-doubt. Attempting to maintain impossible standards is beginning to take a toll and you’re exhausted from casting aside your needs to please others. The never ending “what if” scenarios consuming your mind leave you feeling drained and dreading the days ahead.
My Background and Approach
I graduated from the University of Missouri - St. Louis (UMSL) in 2015 with my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have worked as a crisis counselor for the last 7 years. I’ve talked to hundreds of individuals and provided support during their darkest moments. I’ve held several roles over the years providing support to individuals in crisis, connecting them with various mental health referrals throughout the St. Louis region and eventually made my way into leadership positions where I currently train and supervise staff. My true passion is helping individuals overcome their anxiety and stress. My approach with my clients is laid back and informal. My calm and supportive demeanor served with a side of humor allows for a safe, judgement-free zone to be yourself while providing a space to lay your worries down for a while as we explore your unique concerns and work on solutions together to get you back on track and living in the moment again.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everyone has the ability to make changes in their life and overcome adversity, but they have to be ready to put forth the effort. We get out of therapy what we're willing to put into it. However, finding the right counselor can be pivotal in assisting clients to make desired their changes. I know how debilitating and overwhelming anxiety and stress can feel. My own therapeutic journey for health anxiety and generalized anxiety combined with my education as a counselor inspired my practice. I want you to know relief is possible and I want to help you along your journey. If you think we would be a good fit, please message me - I'd love to chat!
