Hello and welcome ALL. I am an LPC-A with my M.Ed. in Couples and Family therapy and a certified sex therapist through the Sexual Health Alliance. I am a trauma professional and Gottman trained.

I specialize in all forms of consensually non-monogamous (CNM) relationships. Clients come to me when they are looking to navigate a new dynamic or are feeling stuck in their current relationship style. Struggles may include feelings of jealousy, shame, guilt, stigmas, and fear as well as breakdowns in communication. I’ve been in a consensually non-monogamous relationship for more than 25 years. I’ve been there, and I’ve seen a lot of what those in this open dynamic experience. I’ve witnessed many friends going to some amazing therapists only to spend their sessions trying to educate their counselor on their lifestyle, or worse, defend it. I believe you deserve a therapist who understands and is knowledgeable in CNM.

I also work with clients who are experiencing desire differences, sexual dissatisfaction or dysfunction, infidelity, low libido, and “porn/sex addiction.” I welcome the LGBTQ+ and kink communities. My practice is sex-positive and affirming to all sexual orientations and gender identities.

I draw from Gottman, emotionally focused, and mindfulness modalities as helpful tools in the therapy process. I want to assist you in understanding your unhealthy thinking patterns, navigate positive relationship dynamics and improve your sexual intimacy and identity.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I served in the United States Air Force as a mental health technician. Afterward, I received my degree in public relations where I worked for several small boutique firms in Austin, Texas.

I’m a white cisgender therapist in my 50’s. I do sex and relationship therapy with individuals, couples, triads and other polygroups in Missouri. I see clients in my office in St. Louis or through tele-health. Most of my clients are adults but I do work with some queer and trans teens. I am not paneled by any insurance company.

I am a queer identified therapist, and have expertise in working with clients who are LGBTQIA. I welcome and celebrate all gender identities, sexual orientations, and consensual sexual behavior, and embrace relationship orientations including CNM, polyamory, and kink/BDSM. I create a trusting and collaborative relationship with my clients, and invite them to bring their full selves to therapy. My therapeutic approach is tailored to meet the needs of the client or couple. Whether you are experiencing a relationship problem, a difficult time in your life, or a long standing mental health concern, feel free to reach out so that we can connect. I work with individuals age 16+ and couples.
