About

My love for psychotherapy grew out of the belief that humans heal through connection. As a therapist, I understand that through empathy and hope individuals are able to discover who they are and what they want out of life. Coming to understand yourself is a beautiful, and sometimes frustrating, process that develops over time.

My office is a space where you can talk about your deepest fears, joys, and upsets. Through the Psychodynamic lens, I observe and analyze what is happening in the room, and use this information to help you find other options in life.

I work with individuals ages 14 and above who may be struggling with a plethora of mental health concerns.

During my Undergraduate career, at Saint Louis University, I combined my two interests: Psychology and Women’s Studies to understand the evolution and maintenance of disordered eating in men and women. This propelled me into working with individuals in inpatient eating disorder treatment centers.

During my Master’s degree from the University of Missouri-Saint Louis, I advanced my training as a therapist by taking courses that focused primarily on women, the LGBTQ+ community, and social class disparities. This led to a fuller understanding of how society directly impacts one’s mental health.

Currently, I am completing training to be an Advanced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Saint Louis.
