for adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, and feel disconnected in their relationships.
Trauma Therapy in St. Louis
Accepting New In-Person & Virtual Clients in Chesterfield & Washington, MO
I help adults who’ve experienced trauma in their pasts, struggle with anxiety, and find themselves feeling disconnected in their relationships.
What You May Notice
At times, things feel manageable, and at other times, it feels like none of the puzzle pieces are fitting together. Maybe your reactions feel stronger or more confusing than you expect. Or, maybe you just can’t seem to calm the anxiety. You may not always have words for what’s happening, but you notice patterns and sense that something feels “off.”
If this is you, you likely find yourself:
Overthinking interactions
Feeling constantly “on edge,” like your mind won’t fully slow down
Experiencing emotions that escalate quickly and feel hard to regulate
Shutting down, going quiet, or avoiding conversations when things feel tense
Getting stuck in the same relationship cycles, like people-pleasing or pulling away
Wanting closeness, but struggling to trust, open up, or say what you need
My Specialties
-
You’ve experienced trauma in your past, or in your childhood, and now find that it keeps impacting the present. It’s confusing, frustrating, and often feels out-of-your control.
I use a trauma-certified approach to help clients make sense of the ways trauma continues to show up in their lives, process difficult emotions, and move out of patterns of fight/flight, hypervigilance, overwhelm, or shutdown.

-
You feel unsettled, stressed, and overwhelmed. Anxiety keeps stealing your peace and preventing you from living life to the fullest.
In my approach, I use CBT and nervous-system regulation to help my clients understand why they feel anxious, learn how to stop their thoughts from spiraling, and calm their nervous system when they start to feel on-edge.
-
You want meaningful, fulfilling relationships, but something feels stuck. Conversations turn into arguments, emotional distance keeps growing, or the same patterns seem to repeat no matter how hard you try.
You often find yourself feeling frustrated, disconnected, or unsure of how to get your needs met.
I work with individuals and couples who want to understand the underlying patterns influencing their relationships, strengthen communication, build secure attachment, and foster more meaningful connection.
Using Attachment Theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we look beyond surface-level conflict to understand emotions and needs driving relational dynamics, creating the space for strengthened emotional bonds and lasting change.
