Frequently Asked Questions

  • As a touchstone of Slavic culture, a Dacha is a summer home typically self-built and passed on through the generations. The Dacha is both a place to run away from the overwhelm and chaos of city life and a place to work the land and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You'll find the therapeutic process has similar values and rewards; through the tough work of exploration, long-lasting transformation and benefits are reaped.

    I strive to create a space where you can take your shoes off (so to speak) and feel safe exploring yourself, your relationships, your intimate desires, and dreams.

  • Sex Therapy is a specialized form of therapeutic care designed to address a diverse range of sexual and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions can include exploring a range of topics such as sexual identity, religious and cultural influences, masturbation and sex toys, physical anatomy, sexual techniques, and issues related to erectile variance and arousal difficulties, desire, and intimacy.

    Such topics are not often discussed openly, so they can feel scary to broach at first. I strive to create an open, honest, and judgment-free space to help make this process easier.

  • Kink-specialized care means that I am comfortable discussing all forms of relationship styles, dynamics, and sexual expressions, including BDSM, fetishes, swinging, and more. This work can look like exploring newly discovered erotic desires, deepening pre-existing kink dynamics, and gaining resources to practice risk-aware consensual kink (RACK). Working with a kink-specialized therapist allows you to spend time talking about your relationships and feelings without worrying about educating me.

    I am continuously learning from and with the kink community to stay current with new research and experiences.

  • I offer free 20-minute consultations to ensure a good fit, and 50 and 75-minute sessions. I am an out-of-network provider and am not currently paneled with any insurance companies. However, I can provide invoices and superbills for you to submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider beforehand regarding out-of-network benefits. 

    Individual Therapy: $185 for a 50 Minute Session

    Relationship and Couples Therapy: $195 for a 50 Minute Session

    I offer a limited amount of discounted spots for clients, so feel free to inquire for more information. Payment is due at time of service via debit or credit card.

  • January 1st, 2022, the No Surprises Act came into effect, requiring providers to make explicit on my website that all clients are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate regarding service cost. You will receive a GFE at the commencement of paid service as part of my intake paperwork.

  • Due to the current size of my practice, I am not equipped to provide adequate wrap-around services that larger group sites or clinics may provide. My number one priority is ensuring you receive the best quality of care possible, as such, a few limitations to my practice include:

    • Domestic violence or intimate partner violence

    • Child custody cases

    • Suicidal ideation or self-inflicted harm

    • Substance use and abuse that inhibit daily functioning 

    • Active eating disorders requiring specialized care

    • Psychiatric diagnoses (mood disorders, schizophrenia, etc.)

    • Intensive outpatient care

    • Court-mandated treatment, assessments, or testimony in legal cases

    You deserve to receive the best quality of care and to work with someone who has the skills, training, and structural capacity to best support you and your needs. I will do my best to provide referrals if we are unable to work together.
