As a psychotherapist, I am committed to supporting adults, couples, partners, families and groups in feeling more alive, connected and authentic in their relationships with themselves, others and their communities. I believe that each of us is already whole, and that there is a wealth of knowledge alive within us just waiting for our awareness and appreciation. Our bodies are one way to access this inner wisdom, and my work encourages us to explore and celebrate what our bodies have to teach us about our innate capacities for healing, growth and transformation. In addition to talk therapy, sessions can include movement, somatic coaching and bodywork, meditation, artmaking, creative play, writing, and breathwork to gently guide the authentic self to move into full expression. Together, we learn what best supports the your unfolding process. Specialties: Enhancing self-esteem & body image; Reclaiming life after trauma; Cultivating healthy relationships; Supporting diverse families (multicultural, LGBTQI, blended, poly); Navigating the complexities of sex, intimacy & desire (all relationship styles, gender constellations and sexual orientations)

The first thing I want to tell my clients is that it’s ok to be shameless. What we carry with us is often burdened under the weight of shame. This can make it challenging to share the most intimate details that are affecting our physical and mental health. I’m here to listen and to offer you space free from judgment. I work with adults who are dealing with challenges related to sex & sexuality, and alternative relationship structures; those who are navigating sexual shame; and those exploring sexual interests. I’m an activist and advocate for sexual rights & freedoms, and am queer-, kink-, polyam-, and sexworker-friendly.

Currently taking new, individual clients. Contact me for a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

I have been licensed as a Psychologist (PhD-Doctor) since 2001. I received my Master’s Degree in Psychology in December of 1988 and thus have +30 years of experience as a psychotherapist. This year (2018), I published my first Audio-Book, “Meditative Visualization; How 2 Minutes a Day Can Change Your Life,” available via Amazon.com, iTunes.com, CDBaby.com and more. I began meditating in 1998 & teaching Meditation +/-2004. My clients have asked me for years to publish my techniques on stress management, creating dynamically balanced lifestyles, problem-solving, goal setting, & creating internal resilience in our ever-changing world. In addition, I have been training as a Shaman (Sha-Woman) since 2013 and have subtly integrated that in to my psychotherapy practices.

I offer individual & couples therapy for adults dealing with anxiety, depression & major life transition issues. I also have experience addressing polyamorous & alternative relationship (mutually consensual non-monogamous) issues & experience in helping people manage the emotional components of auto-immune issues (Chronic Fatigue).

Healing Matters Psychotherapy and Wellness is a safe and inclusive space.

I take a pluralistic approach to psychotherapy, focusing first and foremost on the problems that a client brings to counselling and how they would like to address these. I specialize in working with gender and sexual minority clients and people involved in BDSM and/or polyamorous relationships. I’m passionate about helping people to create the relationships they want, whether that is rebuilding and repairing trust, opening up or closing their relationships.

Integrity, honesty and compassion are the cornerstones of my practice. My work as a coach supports people in customizing their relationships and attending to the needs, desires and boundaries of everyone involved. Most of my work is online, using Skype, FaceTime or Zoom. I am open to working by email or chat for clients that prefer these methods of communication.

I welcome individuals of all cultures, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations.

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 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.
