• Sex therapy is a type of talk therapy that’s designed to help individuals, couples, or poly relationships address medical, psychological, personal, or interpersonal factors impacting sexual satisfaction. Sex therapy really isn’t that much different than any other type of talk therapy, except our focus is on sexual wellness and pleasure. The work we do together might be focused on undoing old beliefs or narratives that restrict us from experiencing healthy sexual encounters, it could be focused on pain, lack of arousal, performance anxiety, sexual identity, gender identity, kink, religious beliefs, roles in the relationship, the list goes on and on

Finding the right therapist is crucial to your journey of personal growth and healing. You'll know I'm the right therapist for you if you feel heard, understood, and comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings in our sessions. The therapeutic relationship thrives on trust and connection, so if you find yourself looking forward to our meetings and are comfortable with the pace and direction of our work together, it's a positive sign. It's important that my approach aligns with your needs, values, and goals. If you feel a sense of relief, clarity, or even a newfound perspective after our sessions, these are indicators that we are on the right path. Remember, therapy is a collaborative process, and your active participation and comfort with your therapist are key components to achieving your therapeutic goals.

I am not paneled with any insurance companies. Insurance companies often do not cover sex or relationship therapy and would require having access to client records, dictating the way I can practice. I can offer you what’s called, “out-of-network benefits” (OONB). Not everyone has this as part of their benefits package but most OONB plans pay between 50% to 80% of my fee.

Please call your healthcare plan and ask these questions:​

• Do I have out-of-network benefits?

• What percentage of my therapist’s fee does my plan pay for?

• Do I have a deductible that needs to be met before my plan pays toward my therapy?
