Sex therapy is talk therapy — let's clear that up right away. There is no touch, no physical contact — it's simply a conversation that happens in a regular therapy office, in regular clothes.

Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy focusing on the emotional, psychological, and relational sides of sexual health. It addresses concerns like:

·       Low or mismatched sexual desire

·       Difficulty with arousal or orgasm

·       Pain during sex

·       Sexual shame or guilt rooted in religion, culture, or past experiences

·       Sexual trauma and its effects on intimacy

·       Porn use and its impact on relationships or self-image

·       Identity exploration around orientation, gender, or desire

·       Disconnection between partners

·       Many people come not because something is dramatically wrong, but because they want more — more connection, more confidence, more understanding of themselves. That's just as valid a reason to be here.

·       Sex is tangled up in our self-worth, attachment patterns, and histories — and yet it's one of the last things most of us talk about openly. You deserve to feel at home in your own body and connected to the people you're intimate with.

It might be a lot less awkward than you're expecting.

Attachment and intimacy healing is the process of understanding how your earliest relationships shaped the way you connect with others today — and gently rewiring those patterns so they stop running the show.

From the time we're born, we learn what love looks, feels, and sounds like based on the people who raised us. If those experiences left you feeling unsafe, unseen, or unworthy, your nervous system learned to protect itself — sometimes by pushing people away, sometimes by holding on too tight, and sometimes by attracting the same painful dynamics over and over again.

That's not a character flaw. That's attachment.

Intimacy healing goes a step further — it's about rebuilding your capacity to feel safe being truly known by another person. That includes emotional intimacy, physical closeness, vulnerability, and yes, sexual connection too. For many people, intimacy feels terrifying precisely because it matters so much.

In our work together, we slow down and get curious about those old patterns. We look at where they came from, how they're showing up in your relationships right now, and what it would feel like to finally do things differently. The goal isn't perfection — it's building the kind of secure, authentic connection you actually deserve.

Absolutely! Telehealth allows you to do sessions from the comfort of your own space – cozy blankets and all. We’ll meet over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform where we can talk just like in person.

It’s perfect for those who prefer a little extra convenience or aren’t local to my practice. Plus, no commute means more time for you!

Easy! You can schedule an appointment by filling out the contact form at the bottom of this page or calling me. We’ll set up a free consultation to chat, answer any questions, and see if we’re a good fit. There’s no pressure; just a chance to see if this feels right for you.

I am currently in-network with Kaiser Permanente for Colorado clients. Outside of that, I am a private pay practice.

If you have out-of-network benefits through your insurance provider, I'm happy to provide you with a superbill — a receipt you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many clients are surprised by how much their plan covers. I'd recommend calling the member services number on your insurance card and asking about your out-of-network mental health benefits before we meet.

I've chosen to operate primarily as a private pay practice because it allows me to focus entirely on your care — not on what an insurance company decides is necessary for you. It also gives us more flexibility in the type of work we do together, including coaching and personal growth work that falls outside what insurance typically covers.

Honestly? It feels like a conversation — not a clinical interrogation. I'm not going to hand you a worksheet on day one or nod silently while you talk into the void. We're in this together.

Here's how it typically goes:

First, we connect. We start with a free consultation call so you can get a feel for who I am and I can learn a little about what's bringing you in. No pressure, no commitment — just a real conversation.

Then we dig in. Our early sessions are about understanding your story — where you've been, what patterns keep showing up, and what you actually want your life and relationships to look like. You set the pace.

Then the real work begins. Using a mix of evidence-based approaches and honest conversation, we start untangling the old patterns and building new ones. Some sessions will feel like breakthroughs. Some will feel hard. All of them are moving you forward.

Sessions are 55 minutes and typically held weekly, especially at the start. As you grow and stabilize, we can adjust frequency based on what feels right for you.

There's no rigid formula here. Therapy with me is tailored to you — your history, your nervous system, your goals. What stays consistent is that you'll always have a space that's warm, honest, and completely judgment-free.

Our first session is like a “getting to know you” chat – minus the awkward small talk.

We’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, discuss your relationship history, and set some initial goals.

There is no pressure to dive into the deep stuff right away; it’s all about creating a space where you feel comfortable and safe.

Good — that means you're human.

Honestly, I have never met a single person who walked into their first therapy session feeling completely calm and confident. Nervousness before starting therapy is so normal it's practically part of the process. It usually means you care about doing the work and that something real is at stake for you.

Here's what I want you to know:

You don't have to have it all figured out. You don't need to know exactly what's wrong, have the perfect words to describe it, or show up with a neat little summary of your trauma. You just have to show up. We'll figure out the rest together.

There's no judgment here — ever. I've heard it all. The messy, the embarrassing, the stuff you've never said out loud to anyone. This is genuinely a no-judgment zone, and I mean that.

You're in control. You decide what we talk about and when. Nothing gets dragged out of you before you're ready. Therapy with me is collaborative — not something that happens to you.

The first step is the hardest one. Most people feel a sense of relief just from having that first conversation. Not because everything is solved, but because they finally stopped carrying it alone.

Nervousness and readiness can exist at the same time. You don't have to wait until the fear goes away to start — that's actually what the work is for.

If you're scared but curious, that's enough. Let's start there.

Feel free to reach out anytime. I’d love to chat and help you decide if this journey is right for your needs!
