Therapy That Feels Personal, Private, and Tailored to You
You don’t have to keep holding everything together alone.
I help adults in St. Louis and throughout Missouri navigate anxiety, burnout, trauma, relationship stress, perfectionism, and life transitions through compassionate, personalized therapy.
Private-pay therapy for clients seeking thoughtful, individualized care without the limitations of insurance-driven treatment.
You Might Be Here Because…
You feel emotionally exhausted
Even when life looks “fine” from the outside, internally you feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck.
You’re tired of coping alone
You’ve spent a long time managing everyone else’s needs while ignoring your own.
You want therapy that feels deeper and more personalized
You’re looking for a therapist who takes time to truly understand you not rush you through treatment goals for insurance approval.
How To Work With Me
Step 1:
Schedule a Free Consultation
Start with a brief phone or video consultation where we’ll discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, answer questions, and see whether we’re a good fit.
Step 2:
Verify Your Out-of-Network Benefits
If you have insurance, I can help you understand whether you have out-of-network reimbursement options. Many clients receive partial reimbursement for sessions.
Step 3:
Begin Personalized Therapy
We’ll create a therapy experience tailored specifically to your goals, needs, pace, and schedule.
Step 4:
Ongoing Support & Growth
Therapy becomes a space where you can process, heal, gain insight, and create lasting change.
Private-Pay Therapy Explained
Private-pay therapy allows us to focus fully on your care — not insurance requirements.
That means:
No required mental health diagnosis for coverage
Greater privacy and confidentiality
Flexibility in treatment approaches
Sessions tailored to your needs instead of insurance restrictions
The ability to work at a pace that feels meaningful and sustainable
Boutique Therapy Designed Around You
Boutique counseling means a more personalized, attentive therapy experience.
Rather than a high-volume practice model, I intentionally maintain a focused caseload so clients receive thoughtful, individualized support and care.
This allows for:
More personalized treatment planning
Greater consistency and continuity
Flexible support tailored to your needs
A deeper therapeutic relationship
