Frequently Asked Questions

I am licensed in Colorado and Washington DC. I offer telehealth appointments.

Yes, I offer a free 15/20 minute consultation call with everyone before starting therapy to make sure we are a good fit.

Contact me via my website contact form to schedule.

The first appointment (Intake) takes 60 minutes. A subsequent regular appointment is 50 minutes. Extended sessions (90 minutes) are available for couples therapy.

If you feel that a longer session would be helpful for individual work, please don't hesitate to inquire. In some cases — particularly with trauma-focused work — extended sessions may be recommended to allow more time for grounding, deeper processing, and integration. We can discuss whether this might be a good fit based on your needs and therapeutic goals.

I work with individuals and couples. I primarily work with adults, but in certain circumstances will work with mature adolescents as well. I am inclusive of all gender identities, sexual orientations, cultures, expressions, and ethnicities.

I specialize in trauma, sex, and relationships.

While these may be the reasons clients initially seek therapy, the work often evolves. As initial goals are met, I continue to work with many clients over the long term — helping them explore broader areas of life, growth, and emotional wellbeing.

Although I specialize in sex therapy, I am a therapist first. My work is grounded in a relational, whole-person approach, and I talk with clients every day about a wide range of human experiences — including anxiety, depression, family dynamics, work-related stress, identity exploration, and life transitions.

Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy that focuses on your relationship with sex, sexuality, and intimacy. It can be done with individuals or couples and provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore concerns, questions, or challenges related to your sexual experiences. For survivors of sexual trauma, sex therapy can be an empowering part of the healing journey — helping you move beyond trauma, reconnect with your body, and reclaim your sexual self on your own terms.

While trauma may be a focus for some, I also work with clients around a wide range of sexual concerns, including:

• Polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships
• Infidelity and rebuilding trust
• Erectile dysfunction or performance anxiety
• Differences in libido or desire
• Pain with sex
• Kinks and BDSM
• Out-of-control or compulsive sexual behavior

Sex therapy, like all therapy, does not include any kind of nudity or physical touch at any time.

I am an out of network provider. If you're unsure whether your insurance covers out-of-network therapy, it's a good idea to check with them first. While I do not directly bill insurance companies, I am absolutely an insurance friendly practice. Many of my clients use Thrizer for insurance reimbursement.

I also accept Victim's Compensation as payment. Please inquire for more information.

Please see my Services for exact fees.

I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for folks in financial need. Please feel free to inquire about availability if cost is a barrier.
