Compassionate, nonjudgmental support for sexuality, intimacy, and sexual well-being
Something about your sexuality or intimate life isn’t working the way you want it to — and you’re not sure where to turn. Maybe you’ve tried to bring it up with a doctor and felt dismissed. Maybe you’ve never told anyone at all because you weren’t sure anyone would understand without judging you.
Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy focused specifically on sexual health, intimacy, and the concerns that affect how you feel in your body and in your relationships. It is talk-based, nonjudgmental, and grounded in the understanding that sexual concerns are rarely just physical or just emotional — they almost always involve both.
You deserve care from someone who actually specializes in this. That’s what I do.
You might be in the right place if…
Sexual concerns are far more common than most people realize — and far more treatable than most people have been told. If any of these feel familiar, sex therapy may be exactly what you need:
•Pain or tension during sex
•Low desire or a complete loss of interest in sex
•Difficulty with arousal or reaching orgasm
•Sexual shutdown after trauma or a difficult experience
•Shame, guilt, or confusion around your sexuality or desires
•Anxiety or disconnection during intimacy
•Compulsive sexual behaviors or out-of-control sexual feelings
•Concerns about sexual identity or orientation
•Navigating kink, non-monogamy, or relationship structures outside the mainstream
•Intimacy challenges in your relationship that feel stuck
How sex therapy actually works
As a Certified Sex Therapist through AASECT — the gold standard credential in the field — I bring specialized training that most therapists simply don’t have. Sex therapy requires both clinical expertise and a genuinely nonjudgmental approach. I provide both.
My work is grounded in the understanding that most sexual concerns are adaptive responses to difficult experiences, relationship patterns, or nervous system dysregulation — not evidence that something is wrong with you. I don’t pathologize sexuality. I don’t have an agenda about what your sex life should look like. My job is to help you get to what you actually want.
For clients whose sexual concerns are connected to trauma — and many are — I integrate EMDR and Somatic Experiencing alongside sex therapy to address the nervous system patterns underneath the surface symptoms. This combination is something very few therapists in Arizona are trained to offer.
My practice is affirming and welcoming to adults of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures including LGBTQ+ individuals, kink-identified clients, and those in non-monogamous relationships.
What sex therapy is — and isn’t
Many people feel embarrassed or nervous about reaching out for sex therapy because they’re not sure what it involves. Sex therapy is talk-based psychotherapy. There is no physical contact, no nudity, and nothing sexual happens in sessions. We talk — about your history, your concerns, your goals, and what gets in the way.
Sessions are 50 minutes and available in person in Phoenix or via telehealth throughout Arizona. A free 15-minute consultation is available before you commit to anything — and many people find that one conversation is enough to feel confident moving forward.
Why a certified sex therapist matters
I have been a Certified Sex Therapist since 2024 and have been working with sexual health concerns since 2015. My background includes training at The Meadows under nationally recognized experts, advanced certification in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, and specialized education through the Institute for Sexuality Education and Enlightenment.
Many of my clients have spent years feeling too specific, too complicated, or too embarrassed to ask for help with sexual concerns. Some have seen other therapists who didn’t know what to do with what they shared. If that sounds familiar, you’re likely exactly who I work with best.
You deserve care that actually addresses this
Sexual concerns deserve the same care and attention as any other aspect of your mental and physical health. You don’t have to keep navigating this alone.
