Hi there! I’m Kimberly, AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, Entrepreneur, and the sassiest red-head you ever did meet.

I’ve never met a bold Cabernet or sea salt caramel I didn’t like, and am firmly rooted in the belief that four-inch pumps are a perfectly reasonable travel shoe.

I was inspired to become a relationship therapist after witnessing the transformation of my parents’ marriage after twenty-seven years together, which established in me a sense of faith in the ability two people have to renew and rebuild their love as they evolve. This can be a gritty process that requires exceptional courage and fortitude, but is one that can also yield profound personal growth, a deeper sense of relationship satisfaction, and a feeling of aliveness that had previously been lost. On the topic of aliveness, I don’t know of any better way to celebrate the joy of being alive than through sexual connectedness and pleasure, an indulgent and beautiful way to express love or opportunity to create an adult playspace of sorts for exploring the many parts of ourselves and our partner. {Fiancé enthusiastically nods head in agreement}

I’m a California girl to the core, but Big Love brought me from Chicago, where I launched my first business, to the East Coast. While I absolutely love working one-on-one with my clients in my Manhattan office, the dreamer in me craved something even bigger. Luckily, one of my favorite people–Amy–craved the same, and together we conceived Enliven Lab, our sexy lovechild. She’s a beauty, isn’t she?

My next project after Enliven Lab successfully transforms the global culture on sex and love? Figuring out how to turn my badass shoe collection into a proper retirement plan. Dream big, people.

Hi! I’m Amy: AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor by day, popcorn lover, red wine imbiber and horror movie connoisseur by night.

More often than not, you’ll find me hard at work as a relationship and sex therapist in a bustling practice in downtown Chicago. I’m inspired by the client who dares to seek a greater self or relationship, risks the comfort of ‘good enough,’ and aspires to cultivate a more profound sense of sexual and relational pleasure. To witness the relational healing powers of a playful laugh, a cheeky sexual exchange, the creation of an erotic or emotional awareness—these reasons, among myriad more, are why I teamed up with Kimberly to create Enliven Lab, so that we could reach more of the people I so admire, outside of the office!

I value hard work and creating a lifestyle that suits me, while also deeply cherishing a life of indulgence and leisure. My absolute dream life, you ask? To travel the world, working with and speaking to like-minded folks wanting to jam on all things life, love and sex. I’d have my man by my side, whose real-life latest quote was “Amy, our entire relationship is a couples therapy session,” which I took as the highest of compliments. What can I say? He just gets me.

And since we’re dreaming, there’s got to be some sort of career built around professional popcorn tasting…right? Just keepin’ it real here, guys.
