Sex Therapy

I have trained and consulted as a sex therapist with many of the most prominent leaders in the field. I work with clients to explore their sexuality and sexual interests and to help them overcome sexual challenges.

Through therapy, education, and personalized strategies, I strive to promote sexual health, intimacy, and overall well-being. It's my passion to guide individuals on their journey towards a more fulfilling and satisfying sexual life. I am a sex positive therapist who works with clients in traditional relationships as well as various other relationship dynamics such as ENM, and poly. I also assist clients seeking recovery from sex & porn addiction, sexual concerns & sexual acting out behaviors.

I specialize in sex therapy for couples, as well as perimenopause and menopause. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I help couples navigate intimacy challenges, enhance communication, and rebuild connection. Additionally, I offer expert support for individuals experiencing the emotional and physical transitions of perimenopause and menopause, focusing on improving overall well-being and quality of life during these life stages.

I had a guy come to me and said, "My wife treated me like a King but I wasn't feeling in love with her so I cheated on her" because he thought love was a feeling. I take you through the biochemistry of sexuality and help you understand the intersection of sex and attachment, the impact that the loss of the ability to attach can have on sexual experience and fidelity in relationships and help you take that information to help you develop healthy sexual attachment in the present and future.

My goal is to help my clients expand their views of sexuality. Many grow up with the basic knowledge of how sex happens, but with no understanding regarding pleasure, connection, kinks, dysfunction or anything outside of heterosexual intercourse. Whether that is a post-Mormon couple experiencing pleasure without constraints, a person exploring BDSM, or someone new to consensual non-monogamy, I want to help them discover and rejoice in their own sexuality and be their authentic selves.

I have completed over 200 hours of training and education related to sex therapy and am a member of AASECT, the national organization for sex therapists. I am also a Certified Sexologist with over 15 years experience working with sexual health as well sexual addictions.

I am a Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists . I empower couples to embrace their desires, overcome challenges, and cultivate fulfilling sexual experiences that deepen their intimacy and self knowledge in a supportive environment where they can explore their sexuality confidently, authentically and joyously. My practice is kink, poly and LGBTQ+ affirming.

Our sexuality often lies at the center of our psyche, and for some people even their spirituality. Our sexuality influences our self-perception and perception of the world. Societal expectations and traumatic experiences can hinder our ability to cultivate healthy connections with ourselves and our sources of meaning. Sexual healing fosters more authenticity and deeper connections with those around us, as well as helping us be more embodied and creative.

I am an AASECT certified sex therapist. My primarily areas of experience in this area include desire discrepancy in relationships, low desire, feelings of shame surrounding sexuality, deconstruction of sexual messaging from religion/upbringing, and sexuality post-trauma. I often utilize acceptance and mindfulness based approaches, such as sensate focus as well as working to create a place of openness and identification of sexual values.

"I have a lot of shame around some of the things I like sexually and in the past I haven't even been comfortable talking about them in therapy. I've had bad experiences before. But Anissa was so reassuring and open-minded I took a chance and opened up, and I'm so happy that I did." ---BB

I have taken extensive couples and individual trainings around best approaches and practices in integrating all aspects of relational work, including healthy sexuality which I tackle with comfort, appropriate humor, and levity to assess, plan, and treat a variety of concerns.

Sex therapy is a type of talk therapy designed to help one work through physical or emotional difficulties related to sex. I specialize in kink and the dynamics involved. Maybe you would like help with contract negotiation or understanding your drive. Something else? Let's explore!

Sex Therapy usually involves a deeper look into some of the causes of sexual difficulties, dysfunctions, and dissatisfaction. Sexual issues can alert you to other issues happening in your life, as the mind and body are connected. Sex Therapy can also help you heal your relationship to your sexuality and body image by processing messaging received from society or in childhood. One of my specializations is pelvic or sexual pain so if you are in PT or want to learn more, please reach out!

I help people improve communication, overcome barriers and heal from painful past events so they can freely experience confidence, intimacy, and pleasure. A variety of issues can be treated through sex therapy, including desire discrepancy, erectile dysfunction, performance anxiety, difficulty achieving orgasm, and changes in sexual functioning due to phase of life or medical conditions. I enjoy working with LBGTQIA+ and kink / BDSM.

As a sex therapist, I offer a sex-positive approach to address sexual concerns and enhance pleasure. Through open dialogue, education, and practical techniques, I empower clients to embrace their desires, overcome challenges, and cultivate fulfilling sexual experiences. My goal is to create a supportive environment where individuals and couples can explore their sexuality with confidence, authenticity, and joy.

Sex therapy can be an individual or couples endeavor and focuses on difficulties centered on sexuality and relationships. Views on sexual behavior can be as varied as our family, educational, and social experiences, and as a result, we can feel shamed, embarrassed, and confused regarding our sexual desires and interests. I strive to normalize a wide range of sexuality while assisting individuals in managing performance, communication, and anxiety due to misinformation.

My practice in sex therapy is rooted in trauma-informed, attachment-oriented, culturally responsive, and body-centered approaches. My expertise is in helping clients recover from sexual trauma, as well as empowering members of the LGBTQIA+ and the consensual non-monogamy communities to live in a fully expressed way free from trauma. I offer sex therapy to individuals and those in relationships.

I am trained in sex therapy and earned my certification as a sex therapist last year. Sex, sexuality, gender, etc. are all biological factors of being human and it transcends all cultures and races. Yet, it is the thing humans have the hardest time talking about. I provide a safe and non judgmental space to talk about sex and sex related issues in the hopes to normalize it and help move through the learned shame that often comes with sex issues.
