— WHAT TO EXPECT

A safe space to explore what's really going on

Sex therapy goes beyond traditional couples counseling by addressing sexual concerns directly — not dancing around them. I work with the emotional, relational, and physical layers that shape your intimate life: the patterns you’ve developed, the wounds you carry, and the disconnection you feel. Whether it’s desire, trust, trauma, or communication, we explore what’s actually getting in the way and build a path forward together.

I begin by exploring why you perceive an issue as problematic, highlighting the impact of societal norms on sex and sexuality. It’s vital for changes to stem from personal desire rather than societal pressures.

Addressing sexual issues involves considering relational dynamics, personal history, and contextual factors, with a focus on emotional, cognitive, behavioral, relational, and contextual changes. I utilize various therapeutic approaches, including EFT, Parts Work, and Trauma-Focused therapy. As a sex and body positive therapist, I support diverse sexual identities and practices, affirming queer, poly, and kink orientations.

— HOW TO CHOOSE A SEX THERAPIST

What To Look For In A Sex Therapist In Connecticut

When looking for a sex therapist, prioritize finding a couples therapist with a specialization in sex therapy. Training in couples therapy is crucial for effectively addressing sexual issues within relationships. Exercise caution when considering sex coaches, as they may focus primarily on behavioral and cognitive aspects without fully addressing complex relationship dynamics. Inquire about the therapist’s experience with relational trauma and their approach to sexual desire discrepancies. Optimal therapy should encompass behavior, cognition, relational and contextual factors, as well as past traumas.

Questions on Sex Therapy in Connecticut

Everything you need to know before your first session

Not at all, many issues relating to sex are rooted in individual histories, experiences, and pain points.  

The first 60 min intake session is 350.00 and any sessions thereafter are 250.00.

I don’t bill insurance directly but I can provide you with a receipt which we call a Super Bill.  This receipt will include a procedure code of 90837 or 90847.  You can call your insurance company and ask them how much they will reimburse a 90837 or 90847 procedure code with an out of network provider

I do but those slots are limited and have a waiting list.  

Plan for an hour even though the sessions are 50 minutes.  We may go over sometimes.

I am only offering online sessions via Zoom.

It depends on the issues you are facing.  Treatment will be longer if you need help healing from relational or individual trauma (about a year) and less if you just need to tweak some thoughts and behaviors around sex (about 3 months).

I am well aware of the fact that therapy is expensive, so the assumption is not to have weekly sessions unless you really need it.

Factors like hormonal changes, stress, emotional well-being, and relationship dynamics can all affect her sexual desire; understanding these can help you address the issue together. Read “Wondering why your wife doesn’t have desire?”
