Welcome to the Blog at Open Doors Counseling

This space is for women who are sorting, sifting, questioning, and becoming.

It’s a place where I share a fresh take on the everyday struggles we face—burnout, boundaries, identity, anger, purpose—and push back gently (but firmly) against the oversimplified advice you’ll find in pop-psychology and self-help soundbites. Healing isn’t always pretty, and it rarely fits in a square box with pastel lettering. Let’s talk about what actually helps.

It’s also a place to shine a light on others—the wise and generous people in my field, and the incredible women doing good work all over St. Louis. Therapists. Dietitians. Researchers. Small business owners. Creatives. Mothers. Leaders. I want to tell their stories, because their work inspires me—and I think it might inspire you, too.

Whether you’re here for insight, encouragement, or a deeper sense of connection to the city we share, I’m so glad you found your way here. You’re always welcome.
