Sex Therapy
In this work, clients can choose to navigate self-awareness, encourage erotic agency, and explore sexual values through an embodied state. Sex therapy offers a unique space for people to improve communication, heal from shame, empower with knowledge, and cultivate personal and partnered intimacy--among many other therapeutic intentions. In our therapeutic work together, we address the barriers you may be experiencing that prevent you from an agency-oriented, fulfilling, and pleasurable sex life. Intimacy, affection, pleasure, and eroticism are just a few of the values explored in this therapy. Sex therapy can be facilitated in individual, coupled, and group relational settings.
Relational Therapy
We choose how to operate and be present in our relationships everyday. When we forget to choose, we can lose our connection, intimacy, and eroticism. In relational therapy, we work with you to co-create the relationship you desire. The cultivation of eroticism, desire, connection, pleasure, and play. To reach these places--we must first start with conflict resolution, co-creating trust, and improving communication. Whether your relationship ventures to therapy for preventative or crisis reasons, relational therapy could be right for you.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is client-centered. This ideology makes individual therapy unique and shaped by your own personal vision, values, and where bodily/ancestral wisdom derives . Our work focuses on current life stressors, sexual health concerns, emotion resonance, historical trauma, and healing. The definition of health belongs only to you.
Common Therapy Topics
I find joy in working with any and all clients interested in the world of sex therapy. If you don't feel or see yourself represented in this list, don't be afraid to inquire about what therapy could look like for you with me or with someone I could refer you to. In all my therapy, it is my belief that we are all beings who innately thrive best in community and relationships. Sex therapy can help individuals, couples, and relational systems with a wide variety of issues, including:
● Sexual health (painful penetration, arousal, erectile/ejaculation concerns, difficulty orgasming, eroticism, etc.)
● Desire discrepancy in relationships (lower/higher sexual interest)
● Conflict, resentment, communication skill building
● Self-acceptance, esteem building, body liberation
● Intersections of sex/intimacy and neurodivergence
● Introduce consent practice and/or expand consent practice.
● Exploring sexuality, relational, and gender identity/orientation (LGBTQIA+ affirming)
● Non-monogamy/polyamory/open relationships/multiple relationships/swinger lifestyle/relationship anarchy
● Kink and BDSM dynamics, erotic mismatch
● Religious/spiritual impact and trauma
● Aging and lack sexuality representation
● Infidelity, trust building, and personal/relational accountability

I do not take insurance but can provide invoices and superbills that you can send to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. I've guided many of my clients through this process!
Important note regarding insurance reimbursment for couples therapy:
Insurance companies will often not cover couples/relational therapy for in or out-of-network benefits, where the relationship is the client. An important coverage question to ask your insurance company is the following, “is the CPT code 90847 with an ICD-10 diagnostic code of Z63.0 covered under my plan where the relationship is the client, not an individual within the relationship”?
If the couple/relationship is the client, I am unable to name one individual as the “identified client”. I encourage you to ask questions about this, if you have any before relational sessions start to avoid unexpected bills or lack of reimbursement from your insurance.
