Therapy for Anxiety & Depression in St. Louis
You’re not alone…
Maybe you’ve been running on empty—constantly anxious, low on energy, or simply going through the motions. You may have lost interest in things you once enjoyed, or your thoughts feel heavy and hard to quiet.
Whether it’s anxiety, depression, or a mix of both, it can be exhausting and isolating. Even when things look fine on the outside, it may feel very different on the inside.
Signs Anxiety or Depression May Be Affecting You
You might notice experiences like:
worry or overthinking that feels hard to turn off
a constant inner critic or harsh self-talk
trouble sleeping, focusing, or relaxing
feeling stuck, unmotivated, or emotionally drained
losing interest in activities you once enjoyed
difficulty making decisions or trusting yourself
feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities
withdrawing from others or feeling disconnected
If these experiences sound familiar, therapy can help you better understand what’s happening and develop tools that make daily life feel more manageable.
Outcomes Clients Often Experience
Through therapy, many clients begin to experience:
clearer and more manageable thoughts and emotions
reduced anxiety and self-critical thinking
greater flexibility when responding to stress
improved emotional regulation and calm
a more balanced and supportive inner voice
increased confidence in decision-making
daily challenges feeling more manageable
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety & Depression
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another.
CBT focuses on identifying patterns such as:
overthinking and worst-case scenario thinking
avoidance or procrastination
self-criticism and negative self-beliefs
emotional overwhelm
Rather than simply trying to “think positive,” therapy helps you recognize patterns that aren’t serving you and develop healthier, more balanced ways of responding.
What It’s Like to Work Together
You don’t need to come to therapy with the perfect words or a clear plan. You only need to show up as you are. My role is to meet you there with compassion, curiosity, and practical tools that support meaningful change.
In sessions, we will:
talk through what’s going on in a supportive and grounded way
identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck
practice small, manageable shifts in how you respond to stress
develop coping strategies you can use in daily life
Therapy moves at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable for you.
Who CBT Is Good For
CBT May Be a Good Fit If You:
feel tired of trying to manage anxiety or low mood on your own
want practical tools that go deeper than surface-level advice
want relief from overthinking or self-criticism
are open to exploring how thoughts, behaviors, and nervous system responses interact
Many people who seek therapy are used to “holding it together” for others while struggling internally. Therapy can help you reconnect with calm, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.

-
Yes. For many people, anxiety and depression are influenced by past experiences, relationship patterns, or long-term stress. Sometimes these experiences shape how we think about ourselves, respond to stress, or relate to others.
Therapy can help explore these patterns in a supportive way while also building practical tools to help you feel more stable and confident in daily life.
-
The length of therapy can vary depending on your goals and the patterns you want to work on. Some people benefit from shorter-term therapy focused on building coping skills, while others choose to work together longer to address deeper patterns or past experiences that influence anxiety or depression.
