Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that focuses on sexual well-being, intimacy, and relational connection. I am a trained sex therapist with advanced clinical experience in areas such as:

• Desire discrepancy

• Sexual pain

• Performance anxiety

• Erectile dysfunction

• Kink and BDSM

• Shame and self-esteem

• Communication about sex and intimacy

Sex therapy helps individuals and people in relationships reduce shame, improve confidence, and build a more satisfying and empowering relationship to sexuality.

Sex therapy offers a supportive, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your sexual values, challenges, and desires.

I bring reflective questions and collaborative dialogue to help you gain insight into how your beliefs about sexuality developed and how you want to relate to your sexuality moving forward. Together, we’ll practice communication about intimacy and desire. When appropriate, I may offer behavioral homework or exercises between sessions.

I offer parenting consultations for caregivers of children of any age.

These sessions provide guidance and support around talking with kids about bodies, boundaries, identity, and relationships in age-appropriate, values-aligned ways. Topics may include:

• Talking about bodies and boundaries

• Supporting questions about gender and sexuality

• Responding to puberty and relationship questions

• Navigating conversations about consent, porn, and/or internet safety

• Creating a sex-positive family culture

Consultations are tailored to your questions and parenting goals, with language support and resources included.

I offer both in-person sessions and telehealth throughout Vermont.

I do not accept insurance. Clients pay directly at the time of service.

If you have Out-of-Network (OON) benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. I provide a Superbill with the necessary information for you to submit to your insurance provider. To confirm your coverage, contact your insurer and ask:

1. Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

2. What is my deductible?

3. What percentage of the fee is reimbursed?

I work with adults of diverse backgrounds, identities, and experiences. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and trauma-informed.

I have experience working with:

• Women and femmes, men and masc-identifying people, and LGBTQIA+ clients (including Aro/Ace)

• Trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive individuals

• Neurodivergent clients

• People in consensually non-monogamous relationships

• Kink and BDSM communities

• Survivors of trauma

• Young adults

• Individuals in the postpartum or early family stages, including parents of all genders and family structures

Please note: I do not offer therapy for youth or family counseling. I also do not provide forensic assessments or therapy for individuals with a history of sexual offenses, as this requires specialized training beyond my scope. For support in this area, visit theNational Sexual Violence Resource Center.

You can expect to spend the first session focused on getting to know you—your individual or relationship strengths, values, context, and history. We’ll start talking about any particular concerns that bring you in and explore how we could collaboratively work together moving forward. You’ll also have plenty of opportunity to ask questions about sex therapy, my approach to the work, and overall begin to get comfortable working together around sensitive topics.

Trauma-informed care means centering client autonomy and consent above all.

You have agency in sessions—deciding what to disclose, when, and how. I respect your perspectives and experiences, and I offer interventions and clinical approaches with transparency, ensuring you understand their purpose and inviting your feedback. Our work is collaborative, prioritizing your safety, choice, and comfort at all times.

I strive to create an accessible and affirming therapy environment and welcome any accommodations to support sensory sensitivities, processing styles, and trauma-related needs.

You’re encouraged to ask for adjustments, which might include:

• Changing lighting or seating arrangements

• Bringing movement tools or fidgets

• Using more direct or concrete communication styles (especially helpful for neurodivergent clients)

• Modifying how I explain concepts or deliver feedback

Together, we’ll collaborate to make the space and session structure work best for you.

The office features wheelchair access with a ramp and designated handicap parking at the entrance.

I offer one sliding-scale spot at a time, available for up to four sessions. If that spot is full, you’re welcome to join the waitlist

My sliding scale approach draws from the Green Bottle model by Alexis J. Cunningfolk, allowing clients to self-select rates based on their financial realities—recognizing that income alone is not always an accurate reflection of one’s access or ability to pay. No documentation is required, I trust your self-assessment.

Sliding Scale Tiers:

• Empty Bottle ($80–100): For those with significant financial insecurity

• Middle Bottle ($101–200): For those meeting basic needs with limited expendable income

• Full Bottle ($200 individual / $250 couples): Standard fees

Under federal law, healthcare providers must provide a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges to clients who are uninsured, not using insurance, or using out-of-network benefits.

You have the right to request this estimate before services begin. If you receive a bill at least $400 higher than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the charge.

For more information about your rights related to the Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
