Welcome. We’re glad you’re here.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but you're not alone. Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your relationship, or your family, therapy can offer a powerful space for growth, healing, and connection. We’re here to help you take that next step at your pace and on your terms.

Starting therapy is a courageous step, and finding the right person to walk with you on that journey matters. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, struggling with body image, working through relationship challenges (the dating world, discernment, or a committed relationship), or an eating disorder , we’re the space for you to be in.

Located in Missouri and licensed in both Missouri and Tennessee, we’re rooted in the St. Louis area with familiarity in communities across the state. The office is located in Old Orchard Webster Groves with The Annex across the street (hello coffee or sweet treat!) No matter where you are, we strive to create a down-to-earth, nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to explore, reflect, and grow.

If you're not sure where to begin, that’s okay. Our first priority is helping you find the support that fits you best—even if that means pointing you in a different direction. Reach out below and let’s take the next step together.

  • I met Machaela while working in athletics and got see first-hand how much she helped athletes manage their anxiety and the struggles of juggling their full schedules with the pressure of performing their sport at a high level. It was clear and obvious how comfortable athletes were with her and that’s a testament to her warm presence and her trustworthiness. I would truly recommend her to anyone who is looking to take control of their anxiety!
