Sacral Function Therapy provides specialized occupational therapy services for adults experiencing pelvic health and functional concerns, including bowel and bladder dysfunction, pelvic pain, sexual health concerns, chronic pain, and other conditions that interfere with daily activities, work, relationships, and overall quality of life.
Our practice emphasizes individualized and evidence-based care that helps clients improve function, independence, and participation in the activities that matter most to them. We currently offer in-home visits and telehealth sessions.
Our mission is to provide trauma-informed occupational therapy services for adults aged 18 and older experiencing dysfunction in their daily roles, habits, and routines related to their pelvic health and sexual wellness. Our vision is to cultivate a healthcare environment where all adults — especially LGBTQIA+ and disabled communities — have access to gender affirming, trauma-informed pelvic health and occupational therapy services that honor the whole person.
In both my personal and professional life as a physician, I’ve been working with the LGBTQIA+ community for more than fifteen years. Notably, I served on the board of Doorways, a housing and healthcare service for people living with HIV/AIDS, from 2010-2020, was Chairperson of the Board for four years, and was granted the Michael Edlin Award from that organization in 2020. I’ve led numerous LGBTQ+ focused initiatives and associate resource groups in my time working in hospitals and private industry.
I’m also active in the St. Louis Sex Positive community, and my practice is affirming for a wide range of lifestyle choices. We offer PrEP, discrete STI screening, and affirmation for those with unique relationship circumstances.
Truth is, I’m still learning a lot, every day. I’m a cisgender straight man, and my lived experience doesn’t reflect that of the patients I serve. But I listen to my patients and learn a lot from them, and try every day to do a little bit better job supporting this community which I love.
