Somatic Counseling, Parts Work & Spiritual Support in St. Louis + Virtual Anywhere
Hello!Deepen your relationship to your body, your inner world, and others with queer-affirming somatic counseling and spiritual support rooted in parts work, breathwork, and relational healing.
You Want More Than Coping
You may already understand your patterns intellectually. You may have spent years in therapy, self-help spaces, or survival mode—yet something still feels disconnected.
Growing stronger is your desire to trust yourself more deeply. You’re craving more honesty and intimacy with yourself and your loved ones. You want to feel grounded in your body instead of constantly managing stress, overwhelm, or internal conflict.
I offer relational, somatic, and spiritual support for queer, trans, neurodivergent, and spiritually curious people in St. Louis and virtually across the United States and world.
This work blends parts work, somatic counseling, breathwork, guided meditation, shadow work, attachment exploration, astrology, tarot, and spiritual care. Together, we move slowly enough for real change to happen.
What is Somatic Counseling & Parts Work?
Somatic counseling focuses on your relationship with your body, nervous system, emotions, and internal experience.
Instead of only talking about problems,
we pay attention to what your body is communicating in the present moment.
Parts work is the practice of connecting with the various inner parts or states of ourselves.
One part of us might want closeness, while another might feel afraid of rejection. One part might crave rest, while another pushes for productivity.
No parts of us are failures, mistakes, or villains. They’re adaptive responses shaped by culture, experience, trauma, relationships, and survival.
In sessions, we slow down enough to notice these inner dynamics with curiosity instead of judgment.
This work can help you:
Build self-trust
Feel more connected to your body
Reduce shame and self-criticism
Strengthen boundaries
Process grief & trauma
Reconnect with pleasure and desire
Navigate identity shifts and transitions
Deepen relationships
Feel more grounded and alive
I often support people through:
Parts work and inner child work
Somatic awareness and nervous system support
Guided meditation and visualization
Breathwork
Grief work
Attachment and relationship exploration
Shadow work
Spiritual counseling
Astrology and tarot
Embodiment practices
Boundary and communication support
Exploring desire, pleasure, and identity
Reconnecting with intuition and agency
Sessions are collaborative, experiential, & relational.
Sometimes we talk and laugh. Sometimes we sit quietly and listen inward. Other times I guide you through a meditation-like process to connect with emotions, memories, images, sensations, or different parts of yourself.
How Does Somatic & Relational Support Work?
My role is to help create a space where you can listen to yourself more clearly and move toward to life you want and are meant to live.
Who Do I Work With?
My work especially resonates with:
Queer and trans people
Neurodivergent people
Spiritually curious people
People healing from religious harm
People exploring multiplicity or non-monomind frameworks
People seeking alternatives to traditional therapy
Peopel navigating burnout, grief, transition, or identity change
People wanting deeper relational healing
Why Choose Non-Clinical Counseling in St. Louis?
I come to this work with a background in therapy, crisis counseling, and social work. I intentionally stepped away from licensure and clinical systems, and I’m happy to discuss that in more depth with you during a consultation.
My work is not clinical, therapy, or crisis care. It’s deeply relational work centered on honesty, collaboration, and long-term transformation.
Together, we can co-create a therapeutic relationship that feels safer, more accountable, honest, and mutual. Great healing can happen outside of clinical systems.
What Happens During a Session?
Most sessions begin by slowing down. We might start with a check-in, grounding exercise, breathwork practice, or guided meditation. From there, we follow what feels most present and meaningful.
We may explore:
Sensations in your body
Conflicting emotions
Memories or images
Inner dialogue
Protective responses
Grief, fear, longing, anger, or relief
Together, we stay curious about what emerges. Over time, people often experience more clarity, flexibility, self-compassion, and capacity for connection.
This process is gradual. This work deepens through consistency and relationship over time.

Your Questions, Answered
-
Parts work is a body-based practice focused on exploring, strengthening, and transforming the relationship you have with various parts of yourself. My current practice of parts work draws and diverges from various sources: Internal Family Systems, soul retrieval, guided meditation, astrology, and relational-cultural approaches.
-
I am an intentionally unlicensed clinician and not a therapist. I am not responsible to a licensing board, which allows more freedom in documentation, boundaries, reporting, pricing, and more. I do not keep notes or documentation beyond an informed consent agreement. I am not a mandatory reporter. I do not accept insurance or HSA. I do diagnose or prescribe medication. Together, we create our own agreements and boundaries around consent, communication, how/where/when we meet, what we call this dynamic, etc. I think the flexibility and freedom of coaching can feel scary and vulnerable but it can also offer a unique healing and relationship.

I offer a sliding scale, $111-$225 depending on location and availability. I also reserve one spot at $20/session for one individual making minimum wage.

I’ve found that parts work is most effective when done slowly, and traditional 60 minute sessions tend to feel rushed and compact. Previous clients found 75-120 minute sessions more natural, spacious, and grounding. If your schedule only allows for 60 minute sessions and you deeply resonate with my site, reach out anyways!

My formal education was at Duke University for sociology, creative writing, and education, and at WashU’s Brown School for a Masters of Social Work. I worked as a therapist (LMSW) for 2 years before taking time away and choosing to leave licensure and therapy. I have experience as a peer counselor, intake coordinator, and social media manager as well. I’ve taken trainings in parts work, supporting folks with trauma, and therapy with LGBTQ+ folks.

Yes, I love to work with folks experiencing suicidality, whether you’ve experienced SI your entire life or this is the first time. My approach is grounded in honoring your autonomy, deep listening, and compassionate presence. I don’t try to fix, convince, or change your state. I just listen and help you connect with the part of you behind these thoughts. I am not an emergency responder, though, and am not the best fit for those experiencing suicidality as a high-intensity crisis on a frequent basis.

Nope, I offer virtual parts work and somatic coaching anywhere around the world! I do offer outside, in-person sessions as well for folks in St. Louis, when the weather permits.
