Sex Therapy That Actually Gets Real — In Your Backyard In Joplin, Mo

Let’s be honest—sex is complicated. It’s supposed to be intimate, passionate, and natural, but sometimes it’s confusing, frustrating, or downright painful. I see it every day in my Joplin, Missouri practice. Behind closed doors, so many people are silently struggling with issues they think no one else could possibly understand.

I’ve sat with couples and individuals from Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Neosho, and Carl Junction who are navigating everything from infidelity and broken trust to low or mismatched desire, erectile dysfunction, and the long-term impact of sexual abuse or trauma. I’ve worked with people trying to make sense of fetishes, sexual behaviors that feel out of control, and even sex or pornography addiction that’s taken over more than they ever expected.

I’m easy to talk to. Truly. Nothing shocks me, and nothing is off-limits. You don’t have to pretend everything’s fine or feel embarrassed about what’s going on in your relationship or your body. My job is to create a space where we can talk about what’s really happening—without shame, judgment, or awkwardness—and help you get back to connection, desire, and sexual confidence.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist in Joplin, I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and sex therapy—two powerful, evidence-based approaches that dig deep into emotional and sexual patterns. Together, we’ll uncover what’s blocking closeness and find practical, compassionate ways to rebuild intimacy from the inside out.

You don’t have to live stuck in frustration, silence, or shame. Whether you’re dealing with infidelity, trauma, or just that quiet distance that’s crept into your bedroom, help is available right here in Joplin, Missouri.
