What sex therapy is

Sex therapy is not talk therapy with a spicier topic. It is a deep understanding of the body of sexual science (anatomy, physiology, medicine, and the research on how people actually experience desire, arousal, and pleasure) applied through expert clinical skill. A sex therapist is not automatically a couples therapist, and a couples therapist is not automatically a sex therapist. I'm both, so I can treat the sexual concern and the relationship it lives in, together.

Who I work with

Individuals and couples whose primary goals include sex therapy. My couples work looks at sex and the relationship side by side: desire that does not match, rebuilding trust and intimacy, and learning to talk about sex without it turning into a fight.

Concerns I treat

Desire and arousal: desire discrepancy, low or high desire, sexual aversion, difficulty with arousal, erectile difficulties, and medication-related changes in sexual function.

Orgasm and ejaculation: difficulty reaching orgasm, delayed, early, or inhibited ejaculation, and orgasm that changes with age or health.

Pain and the body: painful sex, vaginismus and other penetration difficulties, sex after childbirth, menopause, cancer treatment, illness, and aging.

Shame, faith, and identity: purity culture impact, sexual shame, sex positivity, orientation and identity, and mixed-orientation relationships.

Trauma and repair: sexual trauma, affair recovery, and rebuilding intimacy.

Looking only for general individual or relationship counseling, like conflict resolution or communication skills? That is not my focus, but I'm happy to point you to the many fantastic MFTs in Idaho.

Rates

Current rates are $200 per 50-minute session for individuals and $250 per 50-minute session for couples. I'm a private pay clinician and do not take insurance. Payment is due after each session.

Licensure and training

I'm licensed in Idaho as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), so therapy is available to clients located in Idaho. I hold a PhD in Clinical Sexology, and I'm an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, an AAMFT Clinical Fellow, and an approved supervisor of therapists and sex therapists.
