I am not paneled with any insurance companies, which means I operate as an out-of-network provider. Payment is due at the time of service, and I’m happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Most insurance companies reimburse approximately 50–80% of out-of-network services, though coverage and reimbursement rates vary by plan, so I encourage you to check directly with your insurance provider to understand your specific out-of-network benefits. HSA cards are also accepted as a form of payment.

A 24-hour notice is required for all cancellations. If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, you will be charged for the missed session.

This policy helps ensure that time remains available for those who need it while respecting the commitment we’ve made to our work together.

FAQs

Sex therapy is a specialized form of therapy that addresses sexual concerns, integrating psychological, relational, and physical aspects of sexuality. While traditional therapy focuses on emotional and mental well-being, sex therapy specifically helps individuals and relationships navigate issues like desire discrepancies, sexual dysfunction, communication struggles, and intimacy challenges. It provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these concerns and develop strategies for improving sexual well-being.
-
Each session is personalized to fit your unique needs and goals. We’ll start by discussing your concerns, background, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Depending on your situation, we may explore topics like your sexual history, beliefs about sex, communication patterns, or any physical concerns. Therapy may also include exercises to practice at home, such as improving communication, enhancing intimacy, or managing anxiety and stress related to sex.

Yes, confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of therapy. I follow strict ethical guidelines to protect your privacy. What you share in our sessions remains between us, except in certain legal situations (e.g., risk of harm to yourself or others).

The duration of sex therapy depends on the nature of the issues and your individual goals.

Given the current size of my practice, I am not equipped to offer the comprehensive services that larger clinics or group practices might provide. My top priority is delivering the highest quality of care, and as such, there are some limitations to the services I can offer, including:
Domestic violence or intimate partner violence
Child custody cases
Suicidal ideation or self-harm
Substance use or abuse affecting daily functioning
Active eating disorders requiring specialized treatment
Psychiatric diagnoses (e.g., schizophrenia)
Intensive outpatient care
Court-mandated treatment, assessments, or legal testimony
For your well-being, it’s important to work with someone who has the appropriate skills, training, and resources to meet your specific needs. If my practice isn’t the best fit, I will provide referrals to ensure you receive the care you deserve.
