Affordability is a Priority
My Sliding Scale
As an OON therapist, I work on a sliding scale to help clients access therapy. I strive to strike a balance where my clients can afford to sustain the real, transformative work they are doing with my ability to consistently provide time, energy, & additional therapeutic resources to them.
Financial resources can vary widely between individuals, partners & families, and affordable access to therapy is a public health issue.
That is why I work on a sliding scale payment system for all my clients.

FAQ
Do you accept insurance?
I am not currently billing commercial insurances or Medicaid. I am unable to work at this time with Medicaid clients. All other clients I am happy to work with on an affordable sliding scale (see above table for guidance).
I am always happy to provide you with a Superbill, which you can submit to your insurance provider for out-of-network reimbursement, if your policy allows for OON benefits.
Are you available in-person?
I am available in-person at my office location in central Denver (near Colfax and Ogden St). I am also available for telehealth sessions virtually via SimplePractice’s confidential portal.
What should I expect to happen in sessions?
What to expect:
- Nothing is “too much” to talk about. I am not here to judge you, and there is nothing too shocking or taboo for you to talk to me about.
As your sex therapist, talking about the things you can’t tell most people is, quite literally, why I am here for you. - Self-paced. That being said, you decide what is important to focus on and talk about. I may ask questions, but I always remind my clients that you have “veto-power” on where we go and what is focused on in therapy.
- Evidence-informed suggestions. I often ask clients to try things out during sessions, and these interventions are informed by evidence-based practices. These things include experiential, verbal, emotional & somatic practices and recommendations.
What NOT to expect:
- Physical touch. If, in looking for a sex therapist, you are looking for someone who will explore boundaries, intimacy & consent with you via physical touch & sexual contact, consider looking for a surrogate partner instead! There is no physical contact involved by the therapist in somatic-informed sex therapy.
How many sessions & what frequency should I plan for?
I usually recommend starting with one session per week for the first month for new clients, and then either remaining weekly or bi-weekly for the next 3-4 months, depending on multiple factors.
I generally do not see clients more than once per week, and only see clients less than twice a month (aka monthly or every 3 weeks) once moderate to significant improvements have been established for you.
What if those fees are still too expensive for me?
Please contact me about your needs. If I am not available to work with you in a way that works well for you, I’d love to support you in getting connected to the right people & resources!
What else should I know to prepare for sessions?
For couples, partners & families, I sometimes recommend substituting 50min sessions for 80min sessions, in order to allow more time for all concerns to be addressed.
Generally, because of the nature of the work, I recommend my clients spend some time prior to the beginning of sessions journaling or writing down topics they’d like to cover during session time. This helps to keep sessions more focused on what you need, and helps me to target what’s most important to you.
