Therapy for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression across Missouri.

Finding the right therapist is about more than credentials or which treatment modalities they use. You need to feel comfortable enough to be honest, ask questions, disagree, laugh, cry, curse if you need to, and eventually talk about things that may be difficult to say out loud.

I offer an initial consultation so we can talk about what is bringing you to therapy, what you're hoping will change, and make sure I'm a good fit for what you need.

I don't expect to be the right therapist for everyone—and that's okay. If I don't believe I'm the best fit for what you need, I'll be honest about that and, whenever possible, help point you toward someone or something that may be a better fit.

Therapy works best when you and I believe we can work well together.

You can expect therapy to be collaborative, individualized, and real.

I won’t sit silently and occasionally ask, “And how does that make you feel?” for 55 minutes.

We'll talk about what is happening, where it may be coming from, what is keeping you stuck, and what I can actually do about it.

Some sessions may be difficult or emotional. Others may involve problem-solving, practicing skills, challenging old beliefs, celebrating progress, or even laughing. There is room for all of it.

I choose practical tools with you instead of forcing everyone into the same treatment model. The tool matters, but so does the relationship.

You don’t have to perform therapy correctly. You just have to show up and be willing to work with me.

Peaceful Healing is a telehealth-only practice, and therapy is provided through secure video sessions to adults located in Missouri.

Standard individual therapy sessions are approximately 55 minutes.

Telehealth allows you to attend therapy from a private location that works for you without adding travel or a waiting room to your day. All you need is a reliable internet connection, a device with video and audio, and a private space where you feel comfortable talking.

And yes — you can bring your coffee. I probably have mine too

No. You don't need to know exactly what is wrong or have a diagnosis before reaching out.

Some people come to therapy knowing they have PTSD, anxiety, depression, or another condition. Others simply know, “Something isn’t right and I don’t want to keep feeling this way.”

Part of my job is helping you understand what you're experiencing. When a diagnosis is clinically appropriate or required for insurance coverage, we can discuss what it means and how it relates to treatment. You are a person first, not a diagnosis.
