New to KC & accepting new clients — Are you feeling lost in life or your relationship? Feeling anxious about starting therapy? I take a laid-back, nonjudgmental approach to therapy, using humor to help you feel at ease. I know that opening up about personal struggles can be hard, but I’m here to create a safe, supportive space where you can begin your healing process. I enjoy working with LGBTQIA+, kink/CNM communities, couples, young adults, and college students. Whether you're dealing with intimacy issues, desire, anxiety, past trauma, or feeling stuck in your relationship- I’m here to help.
Becoming a sex therapist has been my life's passion. I have specialized training in sexual health from WashU and am constantly furthering my education in the field. I find it important to ensure you feel your time and money is being well spent in therapy, therefore I gather feedback regularly to foster honest communication about the therapeutic process.
Please reach out to schedule a consultation. I would especially love to work with you if you've never been to therapy or have had negative experiences in the past. You deserve to feel joy and find fufilling relationships. I'm here to help guide you towards a life you've been trying to achieve, but have not been able to obtain on your own.
