  • No. There is no sexual contact of any kind between myself and clients. That means no nudity, no physical touch, and no observation of you or your partner(s) during sexual activity.

    Sex therapy is just like any other form of psychotherapy - the only difference is that it's focused on concerns, patterns, questions, and experiences related to sex, intimacy, and relationships.

  • Individual sessions are $195

    Couple/relationship sessions are $220

  • It does not. If you’d like to self-submit to your insurance, Nu can provide a super-bill. I recommend calling your insurance company to learn more about your out-of-network coverage for therapy. Insurance can be confusing! Nu is here to help you navigate and understand your options.

  • Sessions are available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 11-5:30pm.

  • In general, I recommend meeting weekly (especially in the beginning) to build rapport and create meaningful momentum in our work together.

    During our sessions, I draw on the collective wisdom of your lived experience and insights, combined with a blend of attachment-based talk therapy, relational and somatic approaches, psychoeducation, and a trauma-informed lens.

    We’ll stay flexible - some sessions might feel more structured, others more exploratory. Our work will always be guided by what you’re needing that day.

  • You don’t! My education, training and previous work settings addressed all “general” mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, life transitions, work stress, etc). Of course your sexuality is a part of you that we’ll work on - I also realize you don’t exist in a bubble! We can navigate your life happenings and address them in session as they come up. I’m here and equipped to therapeutically support you in all of the ways!

  • Yes!

    At Nu, all parts of who you are are welcome - no need to shrink, edit, or explain. Here are a few ways Nu creates an affirming space for LGBTQIA+ folks:

    • Your name & pronouns will be used

    • Assumptions aren’t made based on appearances or “norms”

    • Language is used as a way to connect, not to box you in. Your lived experience is what matters most!

    • If you're in a place of exploring or shifting your gender expression, you’re invited to use our sessions as a space to try on what feels right for you.

    • Compulsory sexuality is held in check

    • Systems of oppression aren’t ignored here - they’re named, explored, and understood as part of the context you’re navigating

    Whether you’re out, questioning, experimenting, or anywhere in between, you are welcome here. Nu is a space where you don’t have to justify your identity.

  • Yes! Whether your relationship(s) look like kitchen table poly, soft swapping, or you’re monogamish, your structure (or exploration of possibilities) is welcome here. No need to edit, shrink, or explain.
