Feeling stuck in constant arguments with your partner-even in front of the kids? It feels like everything turns into a fight lately. You’re walking on eggshells, trying not to make things worse. You're tired of feeling like roommates instead of partners. You miss the connection, the laughter, the feeling of being on the same team. Right now, you feel distant, frustrated, and alone-even when you're together. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to stay stuck. You’re ready to stop fighting and start reconnecting. I can help.
I offer honest, down-to-earth couples therapy that’s supportive but direct. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help partners understand their patterns, break the cycle, and build closeness through emotional and physical vulnerability—without the blame or intimidation.
I offer both in-person relationship counseling in the St. Louis area and secure online couples therapy throughout Missouri. Take the next step toward a stronger relationship. Avoid the back-and-forth of emails and calls—use my 24/7 online scheduler to find a time that works for you. Or if you have questions, feel free to email or call me directly.

I work with couples who are missing that connection they once had. Those who are trying not to argue in front of their children and then feel like nothing is ever resolved. Those growing distant and not sure how to stop or change it. I love to dig into their interaction patterns and make change to improve how they show up for one another.

I enjoy working with my clients through the Emotion Focused Couples Therapy approach. This looks like identifying communication patterns and softer more vulnerable emotions connected to how we react to each other. We can then alleviate blame from one another and change our interactions to be more understanding, accepting and safe.
