Based In Chesterfield MO, Serving St Louis Metro Area
The Most Effective Solution for Couples That Need Help Quickly
I work with couples in two ways:
- Weekly Couples Counseling – for steady growth and ongoing support
- Couples Therapy Intensives & Retreats – for deep, focused healing in just a few days
Is your relationship on the brink, and you aren't sure what to do to save it?
You’ve had a hurt, maybe a betrayal... You’ve been growing apart for some time.
Despite being with each other all the time, you feel lonely on the inside.
Perhaps you keep running into the same conflict cycle again and again.
No matter how much effort you put into the relationship, there’s still an uncrossable gap between you two…
And it hurts.
Maybe you’ve tried things like:
Reading endless relationship books and trying activities- Taking a vacation together, only to fall into the same fights
- Seeing a weekly therapist, but not getting the results you hoped for
All that, but still your relationship feels like it’s on the brink and you aren’t sure how to save it…
But the truth is that your relationship can be saved — it just requires the right kind of support to make it happen.
What You're Really Feeling
You don’t need another article telling you to "communicate better." You already know something is deeply wrong.
What you need now is action.
That’s what couples therapy is for.
We don’t just work on communication, we get to the why behind the patterns. I help you understand what’s really happening in your relationship, and guide you through the process of healing emotional wounds, restoring trust, and rebuilding a connection that feels safe again.
You don’t have to keep cycling through the same painful dynamics. Therapy gives you a roadmap and a real chance to shift things for good.
Two Paths, One Goal: A Relationship That Feels Whole Again
Some couples need steady, ongoing support. Others need a breakthrough. That’s why I offer both weekly couples counseling and intensive retreats - so we can meet your relationship where it is, and guide it to where it needs to go.
Weekly Couples Counseling
A great option if you're looking for space to process at a steady pace, rebuild trust over time, and receive ongoing support. Many couples use weekly therapy to improve communication, reconnect emotionally, or deepen their partnership as life evolves.
Couples Therapy Intensive & Retreat
Best suited for couples in crisis, those recovering from betrayal or trauma, or anyone needing focused help right away. In just 2–3 days, we’ll condense months of therapy into 15 hours of deep, structured work designed to create real momentum and change.

The Transformation Couples Experience
Imagine what it would feel like to finally put down the weight you’ve been carrying.
Instead of bracing yourself for the next fight, you wake up and feel a calm ease with your partner. Conversations that used to spiral now end in understanding. You look across the table and see not an adversary, but someone who truly hears you.
The distance softens. Touch feels safe again. Laughter comes more naturally. And even if trust was broken, you can begin to see how rebuilding is possible — step by step.
Whether through steady weekly counseling or the jumpstart of an intensive, the shift is the same: a relationship that feels safe, connected, and alive again.

Testimonials
“I'm so glad my spouse and I not only decided to begin marriage counseling, but that we were matched with David. David is skilled, compassionate, caring, and perhaps best of all, has a good sense of humor and seems to know just when to make me laugh. It's a comfort knowing that David is just a phone call or email away if we ever have a challenge. I would highly recommend that any couple work work with David. It's been both helpful and enjoyable.

Rates & FAQ

I am considered an "Out-Of-Network" provider, which means I do not accept any insurance directly. I’ve made the decision to work directly with my clients regarding payment, and they are very satisfied with this arrangement.
If you would still like to use your insurance, then you can potentially do so if your insurance plan has “Out-Of-Network” benefits. The way that would work is, you would pay for therapy at the time of the session, and then I will provide you with a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
I would recommend calling your insurance company to confirm if your insurance policy has OON benefits for mental health services.
Otherwise you can choose to see me privately and not involve your insurance at all. See why many of my clients choose this option below.
Most of my clients actually prefer to work with me privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is because in order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. If your challenges don’t meet the threshold of a diagnosis, then insurance companies can choose not to cover your therapy.
- Insurance can put limitations on the number of counseling sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process.
- An insurance company has a right to call the therapist and ask how sessions are going
- At any point they can say that therapy is no longer medically necessary and cancel the coverage
And by not taking insurance, I’m able to maintain a smaller caseload of clientele and devote all of my focus into helping people.
Instead of taking hours each week going back and forth with insurance, I devote that time and energy to my clients, resulting in better outcomes for therapy.
If you have more questions about this, or have questions about finding your OON benefits and would like to discuss, then I recommend reaching out to me on my contact page and I’d be happy to answer any questions.
No, I work with all committed couples, whether married, engaged, or dating.
Yes. Part of the process is helping couples get clarity about their future, even when one partner is ambivalent.
Why Now Matters
Many couples wait too long, hoping things will get better on their own. But the longer painful patterns continue, the harder they are to undo.
Taking action now can mean the difference between a relationship that falls apart — and one that heals and thrives.
