Question 1

Is sex therapy limited to only talking about sex?

Accepted Answer

Short answer: no. Sex is layered, personal, and deeply connected to how we experience ourselves and others. When we talk about sex, we’re also talking about your body, your history, your relationships, your beliefs, your fears, and your desires. Sex therapy isn’t a narrow conversation. It’s often a doorway into understanding the whole person.

Question 2

How long will this take?

Accepted Answer

There isn’t a set timeline. Therapy isn’t linear, and everyone arrives with different histories, goals, and contexts. Throughout our work together, we’ll check in regularly about where you are, what feels helpful, and what you’re wanting from the process. We let your experience guide the pace, rather than rushing toward an arbitrary endpoint.

Question 3

Can you fix me?

Accepted Answer

Many people come in wondering this. I don’t work from the idea that people are broken. The word “fix” often implies that something about you is defective, and that’s not how I see it.

Together, we focus on understanding and tending to the parts of you that developed for a reason. Change tends to grow from being understood and met with compassion, not from being corrected.

Question 4

Do you offer virtual sessions only?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I only offer virtual therapy sessions for adults in Colorado and Illinois.

It’s completely normal to feel unsure about meeting with a therapist online, especially if you’ve had in-person therapy before or imagined that would feel more “real.” Many people are surprised by how connected and engaged virtual sessions can feel once we settle in.

The depth of the work doesn’t depend on being in the same physical room — it depends on the relationship. Virtual therapy still allows for attunement, emotional presence, and meaningful connection. For many clients, it also creates a greater sense of comfort and flexibility.

If you’re unsure, that’s something we can talk about during a consultation.

Question 5

Who do you typically work with?

Accepted Answer

My areas of focus include:

Sexual shame
Religious trauma
Anxiety around sex
Sexual trauma
Women’s pleasure
Difficulties with erection, orgasm, arousal, and desire
LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy
Exploring ethical non-monogamy and non-traditional relationship dynamics
Recurring relational and attachment patterns
Feeling stuck or disconnected

Question 6

What is LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy?

Accepted Answer

Affirming therapy means this is a safe and welcoming space for all sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures.

You do not need to defend, educate, or justify who you are here. Your identity is respected, honored, and approached with care.

Question 7

What if I don’t know what I want to work on yet?

Accepted Answer

That’s completely okay.

Many people begin therapy knowing something feels off, heavy, or stuck — but without clear words for it yet. You don’t need a perfectly articulated goal to start.

The fact that you’re noticing something isn’t working and reaching out for support is meaningful. That awareness alone tells us something.

Early sessions are about getting oriented. We pay attention to what feels most present, what’s been weighing on you, and what patterns begin to emerge. Clarity often develops through the process — and we work toward that clarity together.

Question 8

How do I know if we’re a good fit?

Accepted Answer

The relationship between therapist and client is one of the most important parts of therapy.

These conversations are vulnerable. It takes courage to talk about the things that bring people here, and that deserves to be handled with care. In early conversations, I’m paying attention not just to what you’re saying, but to how it feels for you to be saying it.

Fit isn’t about instant certainty — it’s more of a felt sense. Do you feel respected? Understood? A little more at ease than you expected? That sense of safety and trust builds over time, but there’s usually an initial knowing of whether something feels aligned.

We check in about that. Your comfort, your experience in the room, and the relationship itself are always part of the work.

Question 9

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

I do not accept insurance and operate as a private-pay practice.

My fee reflects the depth of training, specialization, and individualized care I provide. If you have questions about rates, you’re welcome to reach out.
