I love working with adults in stressful romantic relationships, especially those who identify as BIPOC and LGBTQ+.
Now Accepting Insurance! Being in a romantic relationship can be stressful when trying to manage so many other things in your life. In the beginning, the relationship was great but took a difficult turn and now you’re considering ending it. Are you feeling burnt out in trying to solve current relationship problems? Wonder if you are putting too much into the relationship. Having trouble communicating? You feel like it’s taking extra energy that you don’t have. Do you want to end the relationship but don’t know how you won’t end up in a similar relationship with the same problems down the road?

Many of my clients are in the LGBTQIA+ community.
The world can create a lot of anxiety these days, and that can bring up many questions along with feeling out of control and ultimately cause strain on our lives and relationships. As a trained Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) therapist, I am passionate about working with couples to establish ways to deepen their bond and strengthen the connection they long for. As an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing-trained therapist, I use EMDR to help clients who have experienced trauma to find long-lasting healing through restructuring negative beliefs into healthy, positive emotional freedom.

Relationships are my expertise, especially issues of broken trust, poor communication, intimacy and addiction. There is no "perfect partner", but intimate partnerships should be a source of joy, safety and support. Whether you are dating or engaged, married or contemplating divorce, "straight" or LGBTQIA, monogamous or poly, kinky or vanilla, Millenial or retired, you CAN feel understood by one another with deep, joyful connection! With over 40 years of experience, my clinical toolbox is full of skills and concepts that will move you forward together. (Telehealth only. Sorry, no insurance accepted but receipts provided OON.)

My commitment and curiosity have led me to continue my studies by exploring the lessons of neuroscience, meditation, relational and intersubjective perspectives, attachment styles, LGBTQ care, trauma, and more.
My interest is in helping you live your life fully. What do you know, and love, about yourself? What troubles you, no matter how much you work on it? And what are those unthought knowns–the truths about yourself that you don’t yet tell yourself? There is great healing power in learning them and learning how to use them. When someone enters a treatment with me, I feel the deep honor of accompanying that person on a significant journey. During the 30 years I’ve done therapy, I’ve become increasingly impressed by the power of a life story. How do we nurture the qualities that define us, make life more exciting and satisfying?

As a fat queer woman myself I’ve been there, healed, and can help you get the vibrant life that you want.
It looks like you have your shit together, except you're dying inside. You don't need to take a quiz to know that your childhood and society's endless judgment has affected you. You may find yourself hating yourself, putting yourself down constantly, trying to appear perfect, avoiding talking about yourself, following all of the rules so that you don’t get hurtful critical feedback, putting everyone else’s needs first, or struggling to say no. If you're also ADHD or LGBTQ+ in Missouri, you face even more hurdles. All of these things can add up to major feelings of unworthiness.

I specialize in and have experience helping the following: anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, dementia, grief / bereavement, LGBTQIA+, life transitions, medical issues, sleep disorders, spirituality, and stress.
Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Everyday we face challenges in our lives like feeling lost, alone, anxious or depressed. It can be difficult to know if emotions and feelings are valid, but I want you to know your feelings are valid. You are important! It's helpful to have someone to talk to who listens to you about your feelings and emotions. I'm listening.

Sometimes it may feel like your inner worldview and dreams don’t match the outer world’s experiences and expectations. Sometimes we need help to gather all of our feelings, thoughts, beliefs, histories, and dreams in order to speak them out loud and make sense of them in a safe space. My goal is to help you share your story and your light with the world. When we share our story we heal; when we heal, we give to the greater world and the ripple of change is exponential. My ideal client's goals are to live authentically and freely, unapologetically, powerfully, and to find fulfillment in the day to day.

Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from family or loved ones, hopeless about the future, or like they’re struggling to make decisions or meaningful change. They may be uncertain of how to start the process of change or healing, though they’re ready for growth and understanding.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who practices both individual and couples therapy. I have extensive experience working with client's from diverse backgrounds. My training as a social worker has given me the understanding of how both childhood and current life circumstances impact people. I work to assist client's in understanding how they deal with these problems. My goal is never to provide answers for people, but to help people to understand themselves so that they can function and operate independently of their conflicts and problems.

Feeling fractured from your once-strong sense of self can be confusing, isolating, and painful. Oftentimes these feelings can arise from societal pressures to conform, living in a sex-negative society, or relationship and systemic trauma. Sex & relationship therapy can be a good fit for improving the relational quality of your life and accessing desire as a tool for living well. I specialize in supporting individuals and relationships (of all styles) who struggle to access authenticity and wholeness in their daily lives. I work best with engaged clients who practice active self reflection.

As we live, we write the stories of our lives. Sometimes the pen gets too heavy. Sometimes we don’t know where to start… or how to continue. And then there’s writer’s block, the faltering of the creative process somewhere in our hearts, our minds, our bodies producing dis-orders and dis-eases. Maybe you have lost a Loved one. Maybe you’re starting a new relationship. Maybe you want a new job. Maybe you just want change. I believe the remedy is in the beliefs/feelings, thoughts, and behaviors fueling the writer’s block or dis-ease, and I am a dis-ease specialist.

Many people show up to therapy believing that there's something wrong with them or that they are the problem. Let me assure you that you aren't "crazy." The symptoms you struggle with are just that, symptoms of a larger, more relational problem. Whether you're struggling with your mental health, connecting with your partner(s) or family members, or job related distress; I'm here to listen, support, and help provide tools to get your life back on track. I will always see you as a human rather than a diagnosis. I understand that life (and our relationships) can feel overwhelming, and I'm here to support you in overcoming any obstacle.
