FAQs

Anyone – individuals, couples, poly/ENM relationships, vanilla or kinky.  I treat clients age 18 and older.

Exploring the intricacies of relationships and sexuality can feel overwhelming. I provide therapy that delves into these deeply personal areas, whether you're seeking to bridge emotional distance, heal from trauma, navigate Ethical Non-Monogamy, or address other sexual concerns. Through our collaborative partnership, you'll gain clarity on the root issues and actively shape your path toward meaningful and lasting change, with my support throughout.

Nope!  We use talk therapy only.

Not at all! You may be asked to complete homework involving sexual activities outside of sessions. We will then discuss how it went at the next session.

Truly, there's no judgement.  This is your space to say what you need to say and feel what you need to feel.

Any time in your life journey is the perfect time to start.  Life issues aren’t easy to navigate, and it can be a difficult decision to reach out for help. 

Relationships go through rough patches, and it's not the issues themselves which determine the success rate of relationships.  Rather, it’s the commitment of the people involved to understanding and working through these issues.

You don’t need to wait until you can’t take it anymore or the relationship is nearing its end.  Many people try therapy at some point in their relationships – in a 2017 study involving 1,000 couples, 49% said they had attended some form of counseling with their partner, with 57% of those who had attended therapy being married between 3 and 5 years (The State of Marriage Counseling, 2017).

Another issue is that you may not want to share your personal problems with a stranger.  I get that. Getting involved in counseling certainly takes bravery and vulnerability, so thanks for being here!

There's no such thing as too much information in Sex and Relationship Counseling. Talking about intimate and private things can feel embarrassing, especially when talking to a complete stranger.

You can always tell me as much or as little as you want. I am an independently licensed counselor trained in Sex and Integrative Couples Counseling, so I’m used to talking about issues like porn, low sex desire, kink, polyamory, sexuality, and infidelity. I’ll take steps to make you feel safe and heard.

Sex & Relationship Counseling is for individuals, too.  We can work to address individual and relationship issues either way.  Change often happens when we begin to look inward, so this type of counseling can still help you and your partner/s if you are willing to engage in some self-reflection and commitment to change.

We talk, we explore, we resolve. There is nothing physical or sexual that occurs during sessions -- we use talk therapy only.

Individuals, couples, poly/ENM relationships.

Not necessarily. We work on all parts of self-care, including sexual but also mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.

We integrate couples and sex therapy goals to focus on the overall health of the relationship.
