The gap between your public life and your private one
Most of my Connecticut clients aren't in crisis. They're high-functioning people who have built successful careers, meaningful relationships, and full lives — and who are quietly aware that something in their intimate world isn't working. Maybe it's been this way for a while. Maybe they've tried other approaches and found them too surface-level.
I work at the intersection of clinical rigor and genuine human complexity. That's where real change happens.
Sessions are fully virtual, HIPAA-compliant, and available throughout Connecticut — Hartford, Stamford, New Haven, and beyond.
What I specialize in
Desire & Women's Sexual Health
Desire discrepancy, low libido, arousal difficulties, pain with sex, vaginismus, and post-medical intimacy challenges. Often referred by OB/GYNs for concerns that don't fit neatly into a medical appointment.
Couples & Intimacy
Communication breakdown, trust repair, emotional distance, and navigating the decision to stay or go.
LGBTQ+, ENM & Kink Affirming
All orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures. Truly non-judgmental — this isn't a disclaimer, it's the work.
Trauma & Relational Patterns
Brainspotting for emotional blocks and relational trauma — available as regular sessions or extended intensives.
"Clients come in stuck. They leave with language, tools, and a path forward."
Paula Kirsch, LCSW, CST
What to know before reaching out
Who can benefit from sex therapy?
Anyone experiencing challenges with intimacy, sexual health, or relationship dynamics — individuals and couples alike, across all orientations and relationship structures. You don't need a diagnosis or a crisis to benefit from this work.
Do you work with nontraditional relationships?
Yes. I specialize in polyamorous, open, ENM, and kink-involved relationships. This isn't a niche I accommodate — it's central to my clinical training and practice.
Are sessions confidential?
All sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. Your privacy is protected.
What happens in a first session?
We assess what's going on, what you've already tried, and where you want to land. It's a real conversation — not a form to fill out.
Do you accept insurance?
I am paneled with BCBS PPO and Blue Care Network through Michigan. If you're a Connecticut or New York client with BCBS, please check with your plan directly to confirm they'll cover sessions with an out-of-state provider. Out-of-network benefits for other plans can be processed through Thrizer. Please note that couples counseling and sex therapy are not billed to insurance — individual therapy sessions only.
