Navigating Identity and Relationships With Safe Connection

Seeing Clients Virtually and In-Person in St. Louis and St. Charles, Missouri

Maybe you’re noticing how the world treats marginalized communities and you’re afraid to openly identify with who you truly are.

These situations - and so many more - separate you from the world you want to live in. That disconnection can leave you feeling lonely, unfulfilled and ashamed, even when life looks fine from the outside.

The truth is, we all crave meaningful connection - with others, with purpose and with ourselves.

But life has a way of creating barriers.

Trauma, relationship conflict, burnout, anxiety, or simply years of putting everyone else first can make it difficult to reach out or trust that connection and safety are even possible.

That’s where therapy comes in.

My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity, helping you understand how your experiences and relationships have shaped the way you show up in the world. We’ll explore not only what’s painful, but also what’s possible—because healing happens in the presence of safety, understanding and genuine connection.

I work with young adults navigating identity, transitions and self-discovery. I also work with romantic partners who want to rebuild trust, deepen communication, and rediscover joy in their relationship. Together, we’ll uncover patterns that keep you stuck and develop new ways of relating that feel authentic and empowering.

While I bring research-based methods to my practice, I believe you are the expert in your own life. My role is to create a nonjudgmental, supportive space where you can reconnect—with yourself, your relationships, and your sense of meaning.

Connection is the key to growth, healing, and fulfillment. Let’s work together to help you find your way back to it.
