My Specialities

I am passionate about supporting clients as they uncover and connect with their most authentic, grounded selves. My clinical focus is in providing therapy to those exploring sexuality/asexuality, gender, neurodivergence, and relationships. I work primarily with queer women and trans & nonbinary folks, as well as with LGBTQIA+ couples who are seeking extra support in their relationship. My clients are often exploring emergent or newly discovered identities, particularly in the realms of neurodivergence, queerness, and/or relationship orientation. This work is typically less focused on coping skills or quick solutions, and instead aims to dive into deep reflection and processing.

My Approach & Values

I aim to create an empowering, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic space that invites reflection, curiosity, and creativity—a space in which you can show up honestly and fully, as the complex and layered human you are. Through a balance of warmth, compassion, and supportive challenge, I will encourage you to offer more tender care to the parts of yourself that may be suffering. I know you are the expert on your experience, and I consider myself a guide and collaborator on your journey.

My therapeutic practice is anchored in psychodynamic, relational, attachment, and feminist therapies, and incorporates somatic techniques for working with trauma, such as EMDR therapy and nervous system settling. I have training in sex therapy that I apply with both individuals and couples, and I incorporate my training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples. I value showing up with clients from a place of authenticity, personal integrity, and prioritization of building relationship—I’m not afraid to laugh or even cry with clients in session, and if you’re seeking a blank-slate therapist, I won’t be the right fit for you.

My approach is rooted in the neurodiversity framework of mental health and a commitment to anti-oppressive, non-pathologizing practice. My practice is LGBTQIA+-celebratory, sex-positive, non-monogamy-affirming, kink-aware, sex worker-affirming, and fat-positive. Part of our work together will inevitably involve acknowledging and reckoning with the realities of societal oppressions such as homophobia, misogyny, racism, transphobia, and fatphobia. And I believe that, at its best, therapy can be a space for personal healing, growth, and discovery, while simultaneously moving us towards deeper community connection and collective liberation.

Getting Started

I currently live and work on stolen Kiikaapoi, Miami, Sioux, & Osage land—known as St. Louis, Missouri, and am licensed in both Missouri and Colorado. I provide therapy exclusively via Telehealth. Appointments are 45-50 minutes, and I accept private pay only—I do not accept insurance. My fees run between $150-200; the fees currently available on this sliding scale are regularly shifting, so please reach out if you want more information.

Because the therapeutic relationship is so important, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your goals, expectations, and questions about therapy or coaching. If you think we may be a good fit, I would love to hear from you. Starting therapy can be scary and intimidating, and I celebrate you for considering taking this first step! I encourage you to reach out when you’re ready.

I believe therapy should…

  • Be collaborative.

  • Be non-pathologizing.

  • Acknowledge, affirm, and celebrate client identities.

  • Take a holistic perspective on wellness.

  • Be rooted in client strengths.

  • Be tailored to the individual and their needs.

  • Consider the impacts of oppressive systems—such as racism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia, and fat-phobia—on a client’s experiences and on the therapy process.
