Therapy for couples.
In Missouri and South Carolina.
Are you tired of feeling disconnected and out of sync with your partner?
Your relationship that used to be full of connection and intimacy now seems defined by constant conflict and disconnection. Maybe arguments or “discussions” with your partner are getting more intense and more frequent, or you keep talking about the same problems with no resolution. You may be feeling unheard and misunderstood or simply unable to enjoy time with the one person you thought you couldn’t live without. Perhaps you’re feeling insecure in your relationship, longing for the connection and passion you once shared. You know every relationship has its ups and downs, but this feels different.
When you can communicate your needs and feel heard by your partner, you can restore the connection you once had.
Healing is possible.
Every relationship has wounds of some kind—sometimes ones you have never realized or spoken about. In therapy, we can address those things in an environment where you both feel supported and then learn to communicate about them in productive and healthy ways. These communication skills can be applied to everything you and your partner face as you move into the future together.
I understand that you want to be a better partner, and you also want to feel loved and accepted for exactly who you are today. As your therapist, I’m not here to take sides; I’m here to provide a place where you both feel safe opening up and supported in this work.

This is dependent on your relationship, goals for therapy, frequency of sessions, and a variety of other life circumstances. I find the couples I work with tend to see the most change when working together for 6+ months, but this is something we will discuss throughout the course of our work together.

This is a fair question and one of the most common questions I get. Choosing to go to relationship therapy is a big decision. My training and experience is based on the latest research and evidence based practices in the field of couples counseling. If you have been struggling for a while, but still see glimpses of what your relationship was or could be from time to time, therapy may be one of the best investments you can make in achieving that together.

Yes. First, I am sorry that this even has to be a question. Let me assure you, I support you and your partner(s) unequivocally. I am well-versed and have lots of experience working with people in both the kink and fetish communities. I have also worked with many poly partners and have a good understanding of common relationship structures and terminology. If we discuss something I am unfamiliar with, I have the resources to educate myself and the burden will not fall on you or your partner(s).
