New Therapy Office Location in St. Louis, MO – Opening July 14, 2026

I'm Moving!

Exciting things are happening at Uplift & Connect Counseling!

I am moving to a new office location in the General Grant Building at 8460 Watson Road, Suite 140, St. Louis, MO 63119.

If you're a current client, don't worry—I will continue seeing clients in my Kirkwood office through the end of June. Beginning July 14, 2026, all sessions will take place at my new St. Louis counseling office on Watson Road.

This move allows me to continue providing therapy services in a warm, welcoming space while also supporting the growth of TheraSistersSTL, a community for therapists, healers, and helping professionals. We're excited to host workshops, networking events, and gatherings that bring our local healing community together.

Follow along as we furnish, decorate, and transform our new space. We can't wait to welcome you there!

Welcome to Uplift and Connect Counseling

Because Great Relationships and Marriages Take Effort

Are you stuck in the Roommate Zone with your partner? Feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to break the cycle? You're not alone. Many couples find themselves in this place, where daily routines and responsibilities overshadow the love and connection that once thrived.

I often feel like I am not a priority in my partner’s life. Like I am here taking care of so many things while my partner is over there doing, well, I’m not even sure what they are doing. We are so exhausted at night after working and then taking care of the kiddos that there is no energy left for me or my partner. We might veg-out on the couch together but that doesn’t feel like connecting. I feel lonely. I feel like each day is about survival to get to the next day to do it alone, all over again.

Sound familiar? Wanting to break that cycle and get back to a loving and supportive relationship? I get it!
