Therapy for Refugees in St. Louis

No Human is Illegal

I specialize in cross-cultural mental wellness, trauma and healing. This includes displaced persons and victims of war, torture and trauma. It also includes human rights, minority struggles, and immigrants.

Individual Therapy
Family Therapy
Group Work
Community Connection


 I work with various non-profit organizations providing services for refugees, immigrants and victims of trauma. I have worked extensively with refugee populations for over 12 years, seeing children, teenagers and adults. I commonly employ EMDR therapy, group work, expressive arts, and personal and community connection. I provide culturally sensitive, comfortable on-site and in-home sessions, developing lasting relationships, community and connection. Translators are used upon need.

I also hold fee-free slots for those in need. If you are a refugee or immigrant seeking out counseling, or would like to refer an individual for no-cost counseling, please feel free to contact me!
