Arizona, but I can meet with clients via telehealth across Arizona and in Utah.

Online therapy allows you to access therapy in the comfort of your office, home, or wherever you feel most comfortable meeting. Before your scheduled session starts, you will receive a confidential HIPAA-compliant link via Simple Practice to your phone and/or email, where we will meet via video conference. All that is needed is a computer or mobile device, high-speed internet, and headphones for added privacy. This offers a convenient way to meet with your therapist without commuting!

Note: For online therapy, clients must be in Utah or Arizona at their appointment time.

I do not offer in-person sessions at this time. 

I am an out-of-network provider with insurance. Upon request, I can provide you with a Superbill at the end of every month that contains all the required information to submit for reimbursement through out-of-network benefits. 

Additionally, I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you may choose only to pay your co-insurance for our sessions instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This can save you, on average, 70% upfront on our sessions. Thrizer will submit superbills on your behalf and assist with out-of-network processing. During our intake appointment, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your copay would be.

$0/15 minute phone consultation

$200 for 50 minute individual counseling session

$225 for 50 minute couples counseling session

During our 50-60 minute intake appointment, I will discuss a little more about my approach to therapy and set expectations so that you do not feel left in the dark wondering what is next. We will review intake paperwork and answer any questions you may have about the therapeutic process. Then, we will use the remainder of the session to gather your history and set goals for our work together. By the end of the first session, we will have a clearer idea and understanding of what you want to work on and how we will proceed moving forward.

The length of therapy varies from client to client. After our intake appointment, we will identify what goals you want to work towards, which will guide the therapeutic process. Most clients I work with benefit from working together for a minimum of 6 months. Some clients prefer to continue working together on a long-term basis. For established clients, I am open to scheduling maintenance or “booster” sessions per the client’s desire or needs.

Please fill out a contact form or text or call the office number and leave a voicemail to start the process. Once we schedule your initial consultation call and determine that working together will be a good fit, you will receive a unique link to our HIPAA-compliant portal via Simple Practice to confirm your intake appointment and complete the required intake paperwork.

I am available to speak during my regular office hours (Tuesdays-Wednesdays 9-5 pm and Fridays 9-1 pm MST). If I receive contact via phone or email from you, I will respond within 1-2 business days. I am unavailable via telephone or text outside of my regularly scheduled availability. If you need crisis support outside of my regular availability, you may contact 988 (suicide and crisis helpline), 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.

For any missed sessions or late cancellations (canceling less than 24 hours before the session start time), clients are subject to the full session fee ($225 per session). Please reach out at least 24 hours in advance through phone, email, or the secure messaging in your Simple Practice portal to cancel or reschedule your session time if you have a conflict.

Sex therapists help individuals and couples address and resolve sexual issues, improve their sexual well-being, and enhance intimacy in their relationships. Sex therapists treat sexual problems that have psychological causes or impacts. It is important to understand that sex therapists do not treat physical or medical conditions related to sex, such as low testosterone. You may have to see a healthcare provider first to rule out if there are hidden physical causes to specific issues before seeing a sex therapist. Sex therapists use a variety of evidence-based treatments to help couples and individuals improve their sex lives.

The success rate of sex therapy can vary depending on individual circumstances, but overall, many people find it to be a helpful and transformative experience. Studies show that sex therapy has a high success rate, with many individuals and couples reporting improvements in their sexual satisfaction, communication, and emotional connection. In fact, research suggests that around 70-80% of people who attend sex therapy see positive outcomes.

Success often depends on factors like how open and committed someone is to the process, the specific issues being addressed, and how comfortable you feel with your therapist.

Suppose you’re feeling disconnected from your partner, experiencing pain or discomfort during sex, having difficulty maintaining an erection, or struggling with different sexual desires. In that case, it might be time to see a sex therapist. Therapy can also be helpful if there are unresolved conflicts around intimacy, feelings of shame, guilt, or anxiety, or if you're dealing with past trauma affecting your sexual life. Even if things are going well, seeking therapy can be a way to deepen communication and intimacy.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing. EMDR therapy is a very helpful way to treat people who have experienced trauma. When someone goes through something horrible, the memory of what happened can stay with them, causing pain, fear, shame, or sadness for a very long time. EMDR helps the brain process those painful memories so they hurt and bother the person less over time.

Emotionally Focused Sex Therapy (EFST) is a compassionate and holistic approach to improving intimacy and sexual connection in relationships. It combines principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—which is known for helping couples build stronger emotional bonds—with a focus on sexual intimacy and pleasure. The goal is to help partners understand and heal the emotional undercurrents that might be affecting their sexual relationship, so they can reconnect on a deeper, more satisfying level.

It’s totally normal to wonder if sex therapy might feel awkward, especially because it’s such a personal and intimate topic. But the truth is, most people find that with a compassionate and skilled therapist, it feels anything but awkward. In fact, many people are surprised at how comfortable they feel once they get started. Sex therapists are trained to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about your sexual concerns, desires, and challenges.

Yes, a sex therapist can absolutely help if you're feeling like your sex drive is higher than what feels comfortable or manageable for you, or if it’s creating challenges in your relationship. A high sex drive can be a source of frustration or confusion, especially if it’s not aligning with your partner’s needs or if it’s making you feel out of balance in other areas of your life.

Sex therapy can help reduce sexual anxiety by providing a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and understand its root causes. The therapist works with you to reframe negative thoughts, improve communication with your partner, and practice relaxation techniques. By addressing both emotional and physical aspects, therapy helps you build confidence, feel more comfortable, and enjoy intimacy without anxiety. It’s a supportive, step-by-step process that helps you reconnect with yourself and your partner in a more relaxed and fulfilling way.

Sex therapy can be incredibly helpful for men in addressing a variety of sexual concerns. It provides a safe, supportive space to work through issues like performance anxiety, erectile dysfunction, or emotional disconnection. Therapy helps men improve communication with their partners, explore their desires, and heal from past trauma or negative experiences. It also challenges unrealistic societal expectations and encourages a more balanced, relaxed approach to intimacy. Ultimately, sex therapy helps men feel more confident, connected, and comfortable with their sexuality, fostering healthier, more fulfilling sexual relationships.

Female sex therapy is a compassionate, supportive approach to helping women address sexual concerns and improve their sexual well-being. It provides a safe space to explore issues like low libido, pain during sex, past trauma, body image, or difficulty with intimacy. Through open communication, emotional support, and practical tools, sex therapy helps women reconnect with their desires, enhance communication with their partners, and heal from any past experiences affecting their sexuality. The goal is to create a more fulfilling, confident, and pleasurable sexual life.

Sexual intimacy is as much emotional as it is physical, and that there’s no “normal” when it comes to sex—everyone’s desires and experiences are unique. Never yuck someone’s yum. Consent and communication are key. Sexual difficulties are common and can be worked through. Pleasure is about more than just orgasming. Seeking help is a healthy way to improve sexual well-being, and your body and desires can evolve over time. Most importantly, you are worthy of pleasure, connection, and self-compassion in your sexual life.
