Self Esteem Therapists in Saint Louis, MO

On the outside, you look cool, calm and collected. On the inside...there is a whirling tornado of thoughts, sensations, emotions... You may be looking for guidance on your journey of learning the how's and why's behind the things you do and think. Life can be a big, overwhelming, and never ending "to do" list that you are working hard to manage and looking for encouraging support to help you breathe, balance, and decompress. You are seeking a safe space to express yourself, collaborate and learn ways to cultivate self esteem, focus, and success with managing life.

Utilizing a Cognitive Behavioral approach I address a wide variety of issues, including low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. The way we think affects the way we feel which affects our responses to those around us. In Couples' counseling I emphasize the importance of being mindful of the negative scripts triggered by your partner and identifying ways to become the partner you want to be.

You might look like you have everything under control, and from the outside, your life seems picture-perfect. Yet, inside, you're battling overwhelming stress, anxiety, or sadness.

Are you questioning some life choices and desperately need a space to organize your thoughts and regain control? Anxiety and depression are tough; are they keeping you awake or pulling you down?

Do you get tired of carrying the burden of your past on your shoulders? Do you wish for a future in which you can breathe freely and have a heart full of hope? I strive to create a safe and supportive environment to feel heard, understood, and valued.

Each day brings new challenges. Some involve our families or our jobs or our relationships, but all involve our minds. Healing begins with the recognition that these battles are not obstacles, but doorways, to a better life — opportunities to develop ourselves in ways we couldn’t previously imagine. You possess the capacity for greatness. You have a purpose! Awareness and the vulnerability to trust another human are keys to unlocking your potential in these ways. Therapy provides an outlet to experience yourself as such, and to work toward the harmony and inner peace you’ve longed for.

For many of us, childhood was mentally and emotionally confusing. And we may find that these experiences impact us even now — they season how we relate to others, how we interact with our worlds, and even how we conceive of our future. Making sense of all of this requires a respect for very human needs like safety, stability, and positive and corrective emotional experiences. Therapy is often the single most helpful and effective intervention to those ends—it certainly has been healing for me. I hold a deep respect and honor for those who are able to show up to do this work.

At times, we all need some support to navigate the various difficulties life presents. It takes courage to seek out and ask for help and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
