Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Sexual concerns can affect both individuals and couples, often leading to frustration, shame, or disconnection. Whether you’re struggling with desire differences, performance anxiety, intimacy challenges, or the impact of past experiences, therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these issues. My approach focuses on open communication, education, and practical strategies to reduce anxiety and increase pleasure, connection, and confidence. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more comfortable in your body, more connected in your relationships, and more empowered in your sexual well-being.

Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
In therapy sessions, I leverage my expertise in kink and sex-positive/affirming approaches to create a nonjudgmental and inclusive space where clients feel comfortable exploring their sexual identities and desires. By integrating these perspectives into therapy, I aim to empower clients to embrace their sexuality authentically and navigate their relationships and experiences with confidence and self-acceptance.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Sex therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, relationships, and just being a sexual person. Therapy may address challenges such as desire discrepancies, communication around intimacy, sexual anxiety, body image concerns, pain during sex, life transitions, identity exploration, or the impact of stress and past experiences on intimacy. Grounded in education, emotional awareness, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, sessions are tailored to each couple’s unique values, goals, and experiences. Sex therapy affirms that sexuality is a meaningful part of overall well-being and supports clients in developing greater confidence, connection, communication, and comfort within themselves and their relationships.

Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
Sex can be a source of joy, connection, and play. Or a source of frustration, confusion, and pain. Whether you’re dealing with mismatched desire, lack of intimacy, sexual dysfunction, or the impact of trauma, you’re not alone. I help couples talk about sex in a safe, open way and rebuild a physical connection that feels good for both of you. Intimacy is worth working on.
