Frequently Asked Questions

I am licensed in Colorado, Virginia, 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.

Use the 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.
