About
Based on personal experience, I know everyone can heal, grow, and create meaningful change in their lives using therapy as a safe place to gain skills, so this growth may happen.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 5 years of experience. I work with pre-teens, teens, and adults who are navigating life’s challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, and times of transition. My goal is to provide a supportive and compassionate space where you can feel safe to explore your concerns, gain new insights, and move toward meaningful growth and change. I enjoy helping clients discover their strengths and build confidence in navigating life’s ups and downs.
I hold a Master’s in Counseling from Southeast Missouri State University. My approach is eclectic, meaning I draw from a range of therapeutic styles to meet your unique needs. Together, we may work on exploring thought patterns, developing coping skills, processing past experiences, and strengthening self-awareness and communication.
Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered. I believe therapy should feel approachable rather than intimidating. My goal is to walk alongside you on your journey so you feel more grounded, connected, and confident in your life and relationships.

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in St. Louis have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in St. Louis, MO offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
