Typically, sex therapy begins with you describing your specific sexual concerns. We will take into consideration your attitude and values about sexuality, determine the best approach to resolve issues, and discuss methods to implement change. I often recommend exercises to complete at home. Sex therapy is typically short term and many concerns can be addressed in just a few visits.

It is very common for people to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable when discussing sex. While talking about sex and intimacy may initially feel awkward, I provide a non-judgmental environment and I am trained at putting you at ease. With repeated exposure to sexual issues, you will typically become more comfortable and able to freely discuss any aspect of your sexual experience.

Sex therapy can be effective for individuals of any age, sex, or sexual orientation. Through sex therapy, you can address concerns about sexual function, sexual feelings and intimacy, either in individual therapy or joint therapy with your partner.

I often recommend that a client undergo a physical examination by a doctor to rule out any contributing health issues to the sexual dysfunction. It is important to note that common diseases (hypertension, diabetes, depression, etc.) can interfere with sexual functioning. I often work in conjunction with doctors to address the medical and psychological aspects of the sexual issue at the same time.

No. Sexual issues are typically not reimbursed by the insurance companies and I do not provide the paperwork that they require to process a claim.

Initial appointments are $200 and scheduled for an hour and a half. Follow up sessions are $175 per hour or $265 for an hour and a half. I accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. You may also use your Health Savings Account card. Payment is due at the beginning of each session and I process your payment during the appointment.

If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified me at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of your scheduled session. It is your responsibility to keep your appointment. I do not send reminders other than the Zoom link the night before your appointment.

No. I am not a surrogate partner therapist.

No. Sex therapists do not have sexual contact with clients, in the office or anywhere else. There is no sexual touching whatsoever in my practice – I engage only in talk psychotherapy.
