Insurance And Fees

I focus on providing you with the most effective treatment I can, which is informed by the latest research. For that reason, I do not accept insurance as it may impose limitations.

My rate for an initial consultation is $120 and is 1.5 hours. My rate for my standard session, which is 50 minutes, is $100.

Services

Sex Therapy

Sex therapy is a specialized “talk therapy” that helps individuals and couples deal with problems with their sex life. Talk therapy means that I will talk about the issues with you and there is no physical contact. Men, women, and couples often seek sex therapy with me to help them with problems in their sex life, such as low sexual desire, troubles with arousal/erection, difficulty reaching orgasm or ejaculation, or recovery from sex addiction.

Relationship Therapy

I was so lucky to be trained directly by the amazing Dr. Sue Johnson in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). She created this type of couples therapy that has been expanded to include all types of relationships. EFT looks at how people manage and express their emotions within the context of their relationship. Emotions are not causing the problem; it’s how we react that is the problem. I work with clients to stabilize their situation, reframe the attachment, and practice new, healthier behaviors. We accomplish these goals by looking at the negative repetitive cycles, directly address the root causes and unmet needs, and incorporating ways to overcome these obstacles.

Trauma Therapy

One of the most pervasive issues I have seen with clients is a hurtful and traumatic past. This could be a one-time incident or an on-going situation. These hurts can stay with us and impact our lives in very insidious ways. While, I practice trauma-informed care, I am also trained in Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR). TIR is a process to help people significantly reduce traumatic anxiety and reactivity from unresolved past events. Research has shown this technique to be extremely effective in decreasing traumatic reactivity.
