Is Somatic Sex Education right for me?

Surrogate Partner Therapy is generally intended for those who:

- are already seeing a talk therapist regularly

- experience substantial challenges related to dating, sex, and/or romantic relationships

- are willing to make a 3-12 month commitment of meeting with a surrogate (either every week or every other week)

- don't currently have their own romantic and sexual partner able to support them in navigating their challenges

Who do you work with? What are your specialities / areas of focus?

I am open to working with adults (18+) of all gender identities, sexual orientations, ethnicities, body sizes, and physical abilities.

Having said that, I am especially excited and resourced to work with those who have limited sexual experience, are survivors of childhood trauma, identify as neurodivergent, struggle with body image and chronic shame, and/or are looking to explore expansiveness in their gender and/or sexuality.

What are your rates?

Sessions run $200 an hour, plus a $50 flat fee per session. I will typically start off by seeing clients for 90 minute sessions ($350) and transition to 150 minute sessions ($550) about halfway through our work together.

I only charge clients for the time we spend together. Behind the scenes, there is also commute time, note taking, curriculum development, communicating with your talk therapist, business administration, and ongoing professional development, which are factored into my hourly rate.

Where would we meet? When?

We would figure this out once we decide to work together.

I see all of my clients either in their own home in the East Bay or San Francisco, or in a private studio space that I rent out in either Emeryville or Oakland (near Ashby BART).

We would find a recurring time that works for both of us. I have the greatest availability during typical business hours but also have a limited number weekend and evening session time slots.

What is the process of starting to work with you?

1.) Contact me by completing my inquiry form.

2.) Have a complementary commitment-free 15 - 30 minute discovery call via video or phone call so we can better get to know one another.

3.) If we both decide to move ahead with working together, you would let me know and complete some intake paperwork.

4.) Have a triadic call with you, me, & your talk therapist to discuss your goals.

5.) Schedule regular 1:1 sessions at a recurring time.
