I am the lead therapist at Alsana St. Louis – Ballwin Area PHP/IOP. I grew up in Kansas City and went to school in Columbia. I’ve lived in St. Louis for about two years, and it feels like home now.
My therapeutic philosophy is based in my belief that all people have the capacity for healing within a safe environment that nurtures identity and self-compassion. I work to help our clients authentically connect with their true passions and values while also developing their regulation skills. I utilize compassion-focused therapy with integrations of CBT and DBT. I have also received training on attachment-based therapies such as trust-based relational intervention and play therapy.

In my spare time, I really enjoy getting to be in nature with my pup! I also love audio books and listening to podcasts.
