Sex therapy helps individuals and couples navigate concerns related to desire, pleasure, confidence, and communication around sex. It offers a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore challenges such as low sexual desire, orgasm difficulties, sexual pain, performance anxiety, or relationship patterns that impact your sexual wellbeing. I also specialize in supporting clients who practice BDSM, kink, and ethical non-monogamy. You can learn more on my Sex Therapy page.

Not at all. Many clients come to sex therapy because they feel disconnected from pleasure, want to understand their body better, or have questions they’ve never felt safe asking. Sex therapy is for anyone wanting to build a healthier, more empowered relationship with sexuality—regardless of where you are in your sexual journey.

Working on intimacy is focused on helping you deepen your connection—with yourself and with others. It goes beyond sexual concerns and centers understanding your emotional needs, building self-trust, and exploring the patterns that keep you feeling disconnected. Many of my clients come in feeling unsure of who they are, overwhelmed by expectations, or stuck in people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-silencing. Therapy can support you in developing a more grounded, authentic relationship with yourself.

If your primary focus is understanding yourself, your patterns, or your desires, individual therapy is often the best place to begin. Relationship therapy is ideal when you and your partner want support together around communication, conflict, intimacy, or navigating differences in sexual desire. Some clients start individually and add relationship sessions later as they gain clarity and confidence.

To help you feel comfortable with the process, I offer a free 15-minute consultation. During this call, we’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and determine if we’re a good fit to work together. You can schedule this consultation by emailing me at therapy@insightful-intimacy.com or calling/texting 949-800-8513.

We can meet weekly or bi-weekly, depending on your availability and financial situation. I generally recommend starting with weekly sessions to establish a solid foundation for your therapeutic work. Afterward, we can adjust the frequency to fit your needs and comfort level.

My session fees are based on the length of the session— $220 for 55 minutes or $330 for 85 minutes. All new clients can start therapy with a 90-minute intake session at $300. Some cases may require more than one intake session.

Limited sliding scale slots are available for those needing financial flexibility. Please reach out to see if there are currently slots available.

I am a private-pay, out-of-network provider, meaning I am not contracted with any insurance companies at Insightful Intimacy Therapy. All clients are responsible for payment at the time of service.

If you have out-of-network benefits, I’m happy to provide you with a superbill—a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential partial reimbursement. It’s important to verify your out-of-network mental health benefits before starting therapy if you’re hoping for reimbursement. I can’t guarantee that your insurance will reimburse you, and I am not responsible for any denied claims.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, I kindly ask for at least 24 hours' notice. Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee.

Yes, all sessions are confidential, and I take your privacy seriously. In general, the law protects the confidentiality of all communications between a client and psychotherapist, and no information is disclosed without your prior written consent. However, there are a few legal exceptions to this rule where confidentiality must be broken:

• If there is suspected child abuse, elder abuse, or dependent adult abuse, I am required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities.

• If you are threatening serious bodily harm to another person, I must notify the police and inform the potential victim.

• If you are at risk of harming yourself, I will work with you to ensure your safety. In extreme cases, if cooperation is not achieved, I may need to take additional steps to protect your well-being.

Additionally, if you use out-of-network insurance benefits, your diagnosis will be included with billing, and your insurance provider may request access to your therapy records.
