I work specifically with adults struggling with sex-related issues. These include, but are not limited to: intimacy issues in relationships; lack of sexual education in young adulthood; infidelity; sexual dysfunction; couples in ethical non-monogamous relationships looking for guidance with communication or other relationships; and individuals who are in the kink, BDSM, or sex-work communities and would like informed therapeutic care.
While I do work within a trauma-informed framework that recognizes the impact of trauma on our functioning and spirit, I do not work in trauma-related recovery interventions, such as EMDR or any exposure therapies, but I do work with an amazing team of clinicians who I refer to for trauma work, and clients can begin the process of therapy with me. I am a National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) Kink-Aware Professional. I am currently working toward sex therapist certification from the Sexual Health Alliance that meets the requirements of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).
In addition to out-patient treatment, I have worked in in-patient hospitals with patients with severe mental disorders in addition to co-occurring substance treatment facilities. I currently support clients in abstinence, 12-step programs, Smart Recovery, and harm-reduction models.
I do not accept insurance, but I will provide a bill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement, or which will be applied to your deductible.
