I own a virtual practice, serving all of NJ, NY, PA, FL, & TX, while based in Clifton, NJ. I use a HIPAA-secure, AI free video platform, Doxy.me.

I’m an AASECT-certified sex therapist and one of fewer than 900 LCSWs in the U.S. with this credential. I use my ALIGN Framework, which blends evidence-based therapy with a focus on identity, meaning, and the mind-body connection.

This work isn’t just about resolving a specific concern—it’s about helping you feel more aligned in your sexuality, your relationships, and your sense of self.

I work with individuals and couples navigating a range of concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, and connection, including:

• Low or mismatched desire

• Arousal or orgasm difficulties

• Pain or discomfort during sex

• Body image and confidence challenges

• Relationship or communication struggles

• Sexual changes connected to stress, health, or life transitions

Not at all. Many clients come in because something feels off, disconnected, or different—even if they can’t fully explain why. You don’t need a clear label for your experience to be worth exploring.

No. You’re welcome to come individually or as a couple. Many clients start on their own to build self-awareness, confidence, and clarity, which often supports healthier relationships over time.

No. While we may talk about sexual experiences, the focus is on the emotional, psychological, and relational patterns that shape your sexuality. This work is about understanding yourself more deeply—not just changing behaviors.

That’s completely normal. You don’t need the “right” words or to feel fully comfortable to begin. I create a space where you can go at your own pace and talk about things in a way that feels manageable.

I work from a consistency-first model. Most clients begin with weekly or every-other-week sessions. Monthly sessions are typically used for maintenance after we’ve built a strong foundation.

We’re in-network, for now, with select plans. Otherwise, we operate as a private-pay practice. Many clients receive partial reimbursement for out-of-pocket sessions through Thrizer or Mentaya. HSA/FSA and major debit or credit cards are accepted.

Sex therapy often addresses relational intimacy, identity exploration, or situational sexual dissatisfaction, which do not always neatly fit into standard insurance-reimbursable mental health diagnoses. Specialist therapists frequently choose to stay out-of-network to avoid forcing clients into artificial medical diagnoses just to justify coverage. The increase in AI usage, as well as tech-based healthcare platforms, are forcing insurances into increased audits and demands for detailed health records.

I offer virtual therapy only for clients in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Virtual work is often the most flexible and consistent option.

Your first session is a chance for us to connect, talk through what’s bringing you in, and begin identifying your goals. It’s also an opportunity for you to get a feel for my approach and see if it feels like the right fit.

That depends on your goals and what you’re working through. Some clients experience meaningful shifts in a shorter period, while others benefit from longer-term support.

This work is best suited for clients who are open to honest reflection and consistent engagement. If you’re looking for quick fixes or a more surface-level approach, this may not feel aligned.

Yes—I have advanced training and focused specialty areas within sex therapy. If you’re looking for more in-depth information, you can explore my pages on:

• Body image and intimacy

These go deeper into how I approach specific concerns and who that work is best suited for.

If you’re ready to feel more connected—to yourself, your body, and your relationships—you can reach out through the contact form. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin.

Under federal law, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of the expected cost of services if you are not using insurance or choose to pay out of pocket. I review my fees at the time of consultation, verbally and in writing. This estimate outlines the anticipated cost of therapy based on your individual needs and treatment plan.

You’ll receive a Good Faith Estimate before starting services, and you can request one at any time.

Your rights:
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including therapy. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, you can visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Sex therapy isn’t just for crisis situations—it’s often helpful when something feels off, disconnected, or harder than it used to be, even if you can’t fully explain why.

You might benefit from this work if:

• You feel disconnected from your body, desire, or sense of self

• Intimacy feels strained, avoidant, or difficult to talk about

• You and your partner feel out of sync sexually or emotionally

• Changes in your life, health, or identity have impacted your sexuality

• You’re wanting a deeper, more intentional relationship with yourself or your partner

You don’t need a clear “problem” or diagnosis to start. Often, it begins with a sense that something isn’t quite aligned—and a desire to feel more connected, confident, and at ease in your sexuality and relationships.
