Online Therapy for Grieving & Stressed-Out Women
in St. Louis, MO

Helping grieving and stressed-out women find 
Clarity, Meaning & Fulfillment
in their lives moving forward.
(​Yes, it's possible!)

If you're anything like the women I work with, you're smart and successful, thoughtful and introspective. You're competent, steady, and reliable; and everyone knows they can turn to you to get things done. You're also deeply kind, caring, and compassionate; and you're someone others turn to, feel safe with, and trust for help and support.

Alas, no matter that you've always done everything right: Your world has just been turned upside down — by a death, a health diagnosis, a crumbling marriage, or a shattered or disillusioned dream.

You're typically so sure of yourself, but now you've lost your sense of self. Your life is no longer what you thought it was, what you thought it'd be. You're left feeling profoundly disoriented, lost amid the existential groundlessness of things falling apart.​​ 

None of your best efforts to cope right now are helping much, and you're left not knowing what to do ... and you always know what to do. No matter how much you've got going for you — and you've got a lot — this is all just feeling like entirely too much. You've figured everything out that's ever come your way, but this is getting the best of you. 
You've been in therapy before, and so it feels natural to reach out again now. And so now you're here — literally here, on my website (hi!) — and I'm so glad you are. You've come to the right place, because there is absolutely reason for hope. No matter what life's throwing at you, you can have what you're wanting: you can rediscover yourself, reconnect with your life, and move forward with clarity, meaning, and fulfillment. 

Even though you didn't ask for ANY of this, this is the space — the invitation —​ to do the deep and expansive work of a lifetime. To bravely (radically!) explore, from all of this messy wreckage, your evolving sense of self, the meaning of it all, and your essential desire to live in integrity and from a place of alignment.

​These times of grief can do that to us, if we allow it.

And if you're in, I'm in.
And, so, to you – the smart, sensitive, self-aware woman facing such profound grief and stress – I extend a warm welcome. My work is devoted to helping support women like you: women who have come so far and yet whose lives have just been turned upside down.

The women I work with tell me they appreciate my down-to-earth, engaging style where we do deeply meaningful work together without any formality or stuffiness. I keep my caseload small enough so that we have the space to create what you uniquely need.

​We're in this together. Reach out and let's get started!

Meet Rebecca

I'm Rebecca (she/her). I'm hyper-organized and punctual, and so I apparently then seem like I've got all my adulting shit together. Don't let that fool you. 
 
My internal landscape can be just as messy as anyone's (we're all just people here, after all), but through my own experiences in therapy, and because of my training and experience as a therapist, I generally know how to tend to it well with gentle care and compassion. 
 
Even so, that doesn't change the fact that I don't like feeling any of the big, challenging, uncomfortable emotions any more than any of my clients do. 
 
Because I get it; this work – of being human, of being a human in therapy – is hard. I also believe it to be absolutely worthwhile.

​My practice is based in liberatory values.

​​My work is grounded in the liberatory values of equity and justice,
​and is guided by a fiercely feminist and anti-oppression worldview.

My Specialties

​​Grief: Death & Dying


When someone you love is dying or has died, there is no shortage of bullshit people will say to you. You keep trying to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but you've never needed people more and yet here you are feeling all alone.

You've grieved before, but honestly it's never been anything like this. This grief, now, is an utterly lonely, overwhelming, and exhausting place to be. 

You so want a space where you don't have to hide your pain with shitty performative small talk about it all.

You desperately want support with all these waves of overwhelming feelings – deep sadness, anger, guilt, fear, confusion, even relief (yes, relief. If that's you, you're not alone).

​You're longing to figure out how to move forward, what the hell to do now.

​You're in the right place; I'm here to help.

​Grief: Illness & Health Conditions


 A health diagnosis – whether your own or a loved one's; whether chronic, treatable, terminal, or unknown – brings so many unwanted things. The appointments, the side effects, the somehow chaotic tedium.

It also brings the profound grief and loss that our life no longer looks or feels like how we thought it would.

This may be an entirely private experience for you, all while trying to keep up a good face with the rest of the world that all remains well. 
 
But, make no mistake, even with the support of others, this is just freaking hard. The pitying looks, the awkward encounters, the loaded ever-present “how are you?” question that never seems to want an actual honest answer. (They mean well. You hope.)

You're longing to figure out how to support yourself amid all of this.

You're in the right place; I'm here to help.

 ​Stress: Feeling Overwhelmed & Dissatisfied 

You're completely stressed out and overwhelmed. You've gotten so far in life because of the high standards you've always set for yourself.

And, yet.

You're feeling the heavy weight of dissatisfaction within your marriage.

Or you're feeling buried under the stress of the unexpected challenges of even the most wonderful, desired changes in your life  – the ones you've dreamed of, the ones that are now here.

You worry that your expectations are just too high. That you're wanting too much. That you're really the problem here. 

You're yearning to figure out what to do now. How to find those missing pieces of happiness and contentment. You didn't expect it to be so hard or tricky.

You're in the right place; I'm here to help.

I Want Therapy To Be

Convenient

  Practical matters shouldn’t be an obstacle to getting help, so I offer: online therapy so you can easily fit getting help into your busy schedule; the ease of 24/7 online scheduling; and a secure patient portal to easily complete intake paperwork.

Helpful

My work with clients is engaging, dynamic, and collaborative. By keeping my caseload small, we have the space to create what you uniquely need in our work together. My approach isn't rooted in surface-level quick fixes, but rather in the profound transformative opportunity of life's hardest moments.

Authentic

My approach is deeply relational. My clients and I have zero interest in a stuffy or formal relationship in therapy. We care about building a real relationship together that can fully support our deeply meaningful work together, often long-term, throughout different seasons of their lives.

Exclusively Offering Online Therapy 

All the Benefits of In-Person Therapy, None of the Hassle

Useful Information

Online Therapy

All of my sessions are held virtually. My clients and I (perhaps surprisingly?) have both come to prefer online therapy, so much so it's what I now offer exclusively. If you have doubts, I totally get it. I did too, once. ​Click below to learn why I was so wrong.

Rates

My rate reflects my commitment to provide sustainably excellent clinical care to each of my clients. I limit the number of clients I see so that we can do our best work together. Click below to learn more about your investment and my commitment to our work together.

Scheduling

​​I offer daytime appointments, Monday through Thursday. Sessions are 50 minutes and are initially scheduled either weekly or every-other week. My clients and I often end up working together long-term, often transitioning to monthly appointments as a valuable way to continue this profound work.

Working Together

​Both my clients and I deeply prioritize cultivating a strong and authentic working relationship with one another. I intentionally limit the number of clients I work with so that we can engage in truly individualized care. My commitment to maintaining this small-enough caseload means we can truly work together as a team to create a healing space that is uniquely yours.
