Mental Health Counselor in St. Louis, MO
You feel misunderstood or dismissed by dominant culture. People make incorrect assumptions about you all the time. You deserve so much better than that. Please don't give up hope. You don't have to go through this alone. The people I meet with are often their own unique blend of being Neurodivergent, Autistic, Trans, Gender expansive, Queer, Black, Native, or persons of culture, who have experienced trauma and anxiety due to being marginalized, abused, or assaulted.
Navigating your gender identity can be challenging, and I’m here to help. As a gender-expansive nonbinary person with specialized training, I provide affirming therapy that respects and values who you are. My approach is supportive, not coercive, and never aligned with the non-affirming "Gender Exploratory” or “Conversion Therapy.” You can explore your identity in a safe space, free from pressure to conform to binary or anti-trans norms. Your journey is unique & I'm here to support you each step
Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure if it's burnout, depression, or something else? I understand how challenging it can be to navigate these feelings alone. Together, we will explore the root causes of your burnout, including the pressures from systems demanding relentless productivity. With compassion and understanding, we'll identify what led you here and work on nurturing your resilience. My goal is to help you rediscover balance, create sustainable practices, and prevent future burnout
I provide a safe, supportive space where you can thrive without pressure to conform to neurotypical expectations and does not label you as disordered due to oppressive systems. I have 9 years experience working with Autistic people and specialized training (Not harmful ABA). My approach is affirming of who you are and we work together to reduce the overwhelm that can lead to Autistic Burnout
This approach values you as an individual, recognizing the impact of social, cultural, and political forces on your well-being.

In our sessions, we work collaboratively to empower you, challenge oppressive systems, and build on your strengths. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where your voice is heard, and together, we navigate the challenges you face, fostering growth and resilience.
