LDS & Faith-Based Couples Therapist

Nobody prepared you
for the intimate side
of marriage.

I'm here to change that. As a licensed therapist and AASECT certified sex therapist who grew up in the LDS church, I help couples build confident, connected intimacy — from "I do" through every season of marriage.

About Sarah

I understand this community
from the inside.

"I grew up in the Church with the same questions my clients carry — and nowhere safe to take them."

Growing up LDS, I experienced firsthand how little preparation most couples receive for the intimate side of marriage. That gap — between what the Church teaches and what couples actually need to know — became my life's work.


I hold a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, am a Licensed MFT, and hold AASECT certification — the gold standard in sex therapy. I've taught human sexuality at the university level, run live couples courses, and authored a book specifically for LDS and faith-based couples. I bring clinical depth and cultural fluency that's genuinely rare in this space.
