Got questions? I’ve got answers.

Yes! Perhaps you are seeking therapy for a non-sexual issue, and you're simply looking for a therapist who you won't have to educate about your relationship structure, lifestyle, or identity. Although I specialize in sex therapy, I work with a number of issues, including:

-ADHD & other neurodivergent minds
-Anxiety
-Attachment wounds
-Body Image
-Depression
-LGBTQIA+ specific concerns
-Self esteem
-Stress or burnout
-Trans & gender diverse experiences
-Trauma

If you’re not sure you fit into one of these but you’d still like to work together, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be happy to consult with you about what you’ve been dealing with to see if it is within my scope of practice. 

Online therapy is easy! You will receive an appointment reminder via email, which will include a link to join me on a secure video platform for our appointments. Online therapy provides you with the convenience of being able to attend a therapy session from the comfort of your own home or other private setting.

I do not provide in-person sessions. Please note that I am only licensed to provide therapy in the state of Virginia, and you must be in Virginia at the time of our appointments.

No, I have chosen not to be paneled with insurance companies in order to avoid the restrictions and bureaucratic processes that come with their involvement in your treatment. By doing so, I am able to offer 100% confidential treatment and a tailored treatment plan that meets your unique needs, not dictated by the rules and restrictions of your insurance provider. This also means I don’t have to provide you with a diagnosis.

My fee is $165 per session for individuals; $200 per session for couples. Triads: please email me to discuss fees and other logistics. Appointments are 50-60 minutes unless discussed and agreed upon in advance.

My fee for gender-affirming letters of support is $150, which includes a 1-hour consultation and all necessary paperwork.

I accept credit/debit cards and HSA cards only. All fees are due at the time of service.

Some clients find they are limited through their insurance and opt to pay out-of-pocket or use their Health Savings Account. When a provider is in-network with an insurance company, they are contractually obligated to share your treatment information with the insurance company. Moreover, any confidential information (such as a diagnosis) disclosed to your insurance company may be stored in the Medical Information Bureau, where it can be accessed by other parties at a later time. Some clients feel more comfortable knowing that their diagnosis and treatment plan is not being reported back to their insurance.

When using an out-of-network practice, clients pay upfront for services rendered and can choose to seek reimbursement from their insurance afterwards. It's important to note that reimbursement may not be available for all insurance plans, and some may have a deductible or allowable amount. To learn more about the details of your specific plan, it is best to contact the number on the back of your insurance card and speak with a representative. Please note that using out-of-network benefits does require that I provide a diagnosis code, and not all diagnoses are covered.

Many sex therapy issues do not have diagnosis codes recognized by insurance companies, which means that insurance may not cover these types of services.

Although I do not accept insurance, I utilize the services of Thrizer, a company that simplifies the use of your out-of-network insurance. Thrizer will submit claims to your insurance for you and reimbursement can be sent directly to your bank account, at no cost to you.

Yes! It is incredibly important to feel connected to your therapist in order to do the vulnerable work of therapy. I provide a free 20 minute consultation to give you the opportunity to ask questions and see if we feel like a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
