I completed my core training at The Minster Centre and hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, a BACP accredited course. Integrative therapy draws on multiple approaches and theories, and my way of working has been particularly shaped by relational psychotherapy and attachment theory. This means I believe that the relationships we experience in our early lives affect our later ways of relating to both ourselves and others. I believe that therapy is a fundamentally relational endeavour - not that people are broken and therefore need to be “fixed” - but rather that through working together we can come to new ways of relating, understanding and being. I try to cultivate a warm, open and non-judgemental space for you to explore yourself and your issues in. In addition, I hold a Graduate Certificate in Gender & Sexuality Studies from Birkbeck University. I am experienced in working with issues to do with gender and sexuality, relationship diversity (polyamory, non-monogamy etc) and provide an LGBTQ+ affirmative practice, but welcome clients from all backgrounds. I am mindful of the social, cultural and structural issues involved in the difficulties we face as individuals.

I believe that therapy can help with so many issues, whether they feel vague or specific, and allow us to come to a better understanding of ourselves and our histories so we can live fuller, more authentic lives.

I work online via Zoom, so welcome clients from any location.

I am proud to be a queer and neurodivergent therapist and am passionate about providing affirming therapy to LGBTQIA+ clients and those exploring their identities. As a sex-positive sexuality educator, I specialize in providing therapy for those interested in exploring their intimate relationships, sexuality, and sexual experience. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, affirming of polyamory and consensual non-monogamy, kink-aware, and sex-worker affirming. My approach to therapy is holistic, warm, trauma-informed, non-pathologizing, and relational. I aim to create a space in which clients can show up fully as themselves, and engage actively and collaboratively in sessions. I provide therapy over Telehealth for clients, 15 years old+, in Missouri.

In my practice, I focus on building insight, compassion, and acceptance of oneself and others, while challenging the dynamics and structures that pose obstacles to successful growth and healing. I strive to uphold principles and practices of cultural awareness and sensitivity, and to regard each client as the expert on their own experience. Through this framework, I am well-equipped to treat issues related to marginalized populations and non-traditional communities. In addition to my experience and skill in addressing commonly-occurring mental health concerns like depression and anxiety, I have special interest in working with body diversity through a Health at Every Size model, LGBTQIA+ communities, polyamory and ethical non-monogomy, kink/BDSM communities, and other people who may feel like “misfits” or in some way live outside the expectations of mainstream society.

Are relationships a big source of your emotional pain? Working hard to find someone and it’s not working? Tempted to violate an agreement or have already done so? Maybe you’re overusing substances to cope or your loved one is battling addiction?

When in these situations, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and want assistance. I imagine you want to feel grounded, to not have outside situations or people dictate your every move or mood. You want to be happier, contented, and satisfied. You are wanting to be and feel calm. I can help guide you to get to where you want to be.

I am invested in your emotional health and happiness and will assist you in finding solution and solace by exploring embedded beliefs, automatic thoughts, and attachment issues that are shaping your outside life. I encourage you to set up a consultation to experience my result-oriented style in person and see if working together feels like a good fit.
