About Your Denver-Based Couples Counselor and Sex Therapist

Working with a female sex therapist can feel different, especially if you’ve experienced shame, discomfort, or judgment around sex. My clients often tell me they appreciate my mix of directness, warmth, and irreverent humor. I create a space where it’s safe to talk about the things you’ve never said out loud, whether it’s mismatched desire, sexual shame, performance anxiety, or feeling like roommates in your relationship.

As a woman, I bring lived insight into how gender roles, body image, and cultural messaging can impact sexual connection. I also work with all genders and orientations and tailor my approach based on your story, not a one-size-fits-all model.

When it comes to couples therapy focused on sex and intimacy, the gender of your therapist can influence how safe and understood you feel in sessions. Working with a female sex therapist often brings a unique perspective on relationship dynamics, especially around emotional labor, communication styles, and gendered expectations in intimacy.

As a female therapist, I’m attuned to how societal messages about femininity and masculinity impact both partners differently. Many couples find that having a female therapist helps balance the conversation, especially if one or both partners have experienced shame, judgment, or dismissal around sexual concerns in previous therapy or life experiences.

That said, the most important thing is that both partners feel heard and respected. I create a space where all voices matter equally and work to uncover how each partner’s experience and identity shapes the relationship. If you’re curious about whether working with me would be a good fit for your couple, I’m happy to chat during a free consultation.

Not at all. Many of my clients come from religious or conservative backgrounds, but you don’t need to be religious to explore your values in therapy. Whether you want to reconnect with your values, make peace with your faith, or simply understand how your upbringing shaped your relationship with sex and intimacy, I’m here to support your process without pushing an agenda.

If you want to bring your beliefs into the room, we will. If you don’t, we won’t. My goal is to help you build a sexual and relational life that aligns with what matters most to you.

Every person brings a unique set of values, and I see those as central to good therapy. Whether you’re trying to honor commitments, raise kids with intention, deconstruct harmful beliefs, or rebuild trust in your relationship, we’ll ground our work in what’s meaningful to you.

That might include conversations about emotional safety, sexual ethics, spiritual identity, or personal integrity. I won’t tell you what your values should be. I help you get clear on what they are, so you can live and love in alignment with them.

You’re not alone. Many clients come to me feeling nervous or embarrassed because they’ve never had open, honest conversations about sex, even with their partner. My job is to make it feel possible, even if it’s uncomfortable at first.

We’ll go at your pace, with no pressure and no assumptions. I use visuals, analogies, and plain language to make complex topics easier to talk about. You can expect honesty, empathy, and practical tools, not clinical jargon or canned advice.

No. While I love working with couples, I also work with individuals who want to explore their sexual identity, address pain or trauma, build confidence, or prepare for a healthier relationship. Whether you're partnered or solo, there’s value in exploring your relational patterns, sexual history, and emotional landscape.

Yes. If you don’t live near Denver or in Colorado, we can still work together online. I’m licensed to provide sex therapy, marriage counseling, and online therapy in Colorado, Texas, Utah, and Washington. We can meet virtually from wherever you are, whether that’s your living room, your parked car, or your office during a break.

My online sessions are just as intentional, connected, and productive as in-person therapy. I use secure, HIPAA-compliant video platforms, and many of my clients appreciate the flexibility and privacy of virtual sessions. Therapy shouldn’t depend on where you live, and I’m here to support you no matter your location.
