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.

Groups
The Mom Group
Growing a family is hard. It's even harder when it feels like you and your partner are on different teams. In this group we will share and explore the challenges of raising amazing little people and keeping our relationship intact all at the same time. It is not a parenting group but a group to discuss communication issues, intimacy issues, resentment, not feeling important and being disconnected from our partners. We meet weekly with some flexibility and will focus on communication skills and taking back control of your life to feel loved and connected again!
