Adlerian Therapists in Saint Louis, MO

Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and refreshingly human. I bring extensive experience in relationships, sexuality, trauma, and neurodivergence, along with a genuine curiosity about what makes each person tick. You won’t find judgment, canned advice, or a one-size-fits-all approach here. Instead, we’ll make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, explore what’s underneath them, and find strategies that actually fit your life. If you’re looking for a therapist who can handle complicated conversations, appreciate nuance, and help you create meaningful change while still being a real person in the room, we may be a great fit.

I am currently accepting clients who are interested in learning mindfulness. I work with all populations: adults, teens, children, those with autism/aspergers, etc. I am also a certified yoga therapist currently obtaining training in somatic yoga.

My goal is to help you identify and resolve issues that may be preventing you from getting more of what you want in life. My style is warm and empathic, yet I can be challenging when it is needed in order to achieve growth.

We offer both in‑person therapy in Chicago and secure online therapy statewide, expanding access to specialized, affirming, trauma‑informed care, particularly in communities where these services may be difficult to access.

St. Louis sits at a crossroads of the Midwest and the South, and its deeply segregated geography shapes a mental health landscape where therapists frequently address racial trauma, economic stress, and community-level grief rooted in the city's long history of systemic inequality. The 2014 Ferguson uprising brought national attention to St. Louis and left a lasting psychological mark on many residents, and therapists specializing in racial trauma, activism fatigue, and community healing remain in strong demand. Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital provide world-class institutional mental health resources, with a strong private practice community concentrated in Clayton, the Central West End, and South City. St. Louis's lower cost of living relative to coastal cities makes quality private therapy more financially accessible for many residents.
