My Approach, Insurance & Fees
My approach is rooted in a trauma framework, blending together body based EMDR and IFS with more traditional relational and feminist psychodynamics. I am interested in not only getting to know your story, but your parts and nervous system.
Together we will unpack core beliefs about yourself and discover where and who you learned them from. We will uncover how they have impacted your sense of self. Through EMDR, we can reprocess distressing memories and negative beliefs together that are keeping you from living your fullest, most authentic life.
In my opinion, understanding the impact of oppressions such as racism, homophobia, transphobia, fat-phobia, and misogyny can help us heal parts of us that have been rejected and shamed, and bring us closer to fully loving & accepting ourselves.
If you are looking for a therapist to write a letter for gender affirmation surgery, or any trans health care needs, I will bring these values into our work together to help you feel empowered and affirmed by the process.
Due to the nature of EMDR, I am not able to safely work with clients who are actively suicidal, have a life threatening addiction, or need more skills based therapy. If you need referrals for this kind of care, I will do my best to provide them!
My office is located in EMPOWERED Spaces at 7602 Big Bend Blvd in Saint Louis, MO.

My rate is between $175 -$235 depending on the amount of time we meet.
A percentage of my spots are sliding scale for QTPOC folks. If you need sliding scale for any reason please still reach out as I try to work with folks when possible based off of their needs and my availability.
I do not take insurance, but I am able to create a superbill for sessions, which can be submitted for out of network benefits or to meet a deductible. If you call the number on the back of your insurance card, you can learn more about the benefits your plan has. If you have an HSA card, I most likely be able to accept that for payments.
