The Right Fit

A good therapist comes with a multitude of techniques and traits. Finding the right one is very important. The trusted clinician should be able to tailor to the needs of their client, always remembering the uniqueness of the individual.

I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. My office is conveniently located in the Chesterfield/Town & Country area near 141 & 64/40, and just minutes from Ballwin, Manchester, Creve Coeur, and Des Peres in the heart of West County.

Still have questions?

Completely fair! These first steps can be a very overwhelming and intimidating process. The Frequently Asked Questions page can be useful in potentially addressing your concerns. However, they only address a handful of questions that might not speak to your needs. The link below will take you to the contacts page, and I'm happy to personally answer any questions you may have. If your needs are a different level of care or with a provider in another area or field, I can easily guide you in the right direction as well.
