Sex Therapist Denver

Yes—sex therapy is a form of talk therapy, just like individual or couples counseling. You won’t be asked to do anything sexual in session. Instead, we talk about your concerns, explore your thoughts and emotions, and work toward healthier sexual and relational patterns. What makes sex therapy unique is that it focuses specifically on issues related to sexual functioning, intimacy, desire, and identity—topics that many general therapists aren’t formally trained to address.

As a certified sex therapist, I help clients understand the deeper emotional and relational dynamics that affect their sexual wellbeing. Sessions are collaborative, respectful, and paced according to your comfort level. Whether we’re discussing mismatched desire, the impact of sexual trauma, or navigating faith and sexuality, the process is always grounded in empathy, clinical expertise, and your goals.

Not all therapists are trained to address sexual concerns in depth. A certified sex therapist—especially one certified by AASECT (the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists)—has undergone rigorous, specialized education and supervision in the area of human sexuality. This includes training in anatomy, sexual development, desire issues, trauma-informed care, ethical practice, and more. Working with a certified professional ensures you're receiving expert, compassionate care that honors the complexity of your sexual and relational life.

Yes—desire discrepancies are one of the most common reasons couples seek sex therapy. When one partner wants sex more often than the other, it can lead to feelings of rejection, guilt, frustration, or pressure. In therapy, we look beyond the surface-level struggle and explore the emotional patterns, relational dynamics, and personal histories that may be contributing. My approach helps each partner understand themselves and each other more deeply, so you can co-create a sexual connection that works for both of you.

Yes! I offer in-person sessions in my Centennial, Colorado office, conveniently located for those in the Denver metro area. I also provide online sex therapy for individuals and couples located in Colorado, Texas, Washington, and Utah. Virtual sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, offering convenience and privacy—no matter where you live.

Absolutely. Many of my clients come from faith-based communities, including Latter-day Saints (LDS), Evangelical, and other Christian backgrounds. They often carry sexual shame, confusion, or conflict due to the messages they were taught about sex growing up. I provide a respectful, integrative approach that honors your spiritual values while helping you explore a more embodied, healthy, and joyful experience of sexuality. You won’t be pushed to adopt someone else’s definition of sexual health—our work is about discovering what’s meaningful and right for you.

Not at all. I work with both individuals and couples. Individuals may seek therapy to address sexual anxiety, low desire, shame, past trauma, or difficulty feeling confident and connected in sexual relationships. Therapy can help you clarify your values, heal old wounds, and develop a healthier relationship with your sexuality—whether you're in a relationship or not.

That’s completely normal—many people feel nervous, especially at first. As a certified sex therapist, I’m trained to help you move through discomfort at your own pace. You won’t be rushed or judged. We’ll create a space that feels emotionally safe, where you can explore sensitive topics with respect and curiosity. Most clients find that after the first session or two, they feel relief, clarity, and even empowerment from finally talking about what’s been difficult to say elsewhere.
