Hello and welcome to The Connection Couch!
Healing sexual shame, pain, anxiety, trauma, and disconnection — so you can feel good in love and in your body.
Online Sex Therapy Throughout Scottsdale, AZ & UT
You don’t have to deal with this alone. Healing can start with one calm, caring conversation.
If you’ve been feeling far away from yourself or your partner — struggling with sexual trauma, anxiety, shame, pain, or intimacy — you are not the only one.
Many people I work with feel:
Nervous, shut down, or overwhelmed when it comes to sex or closeness
Confused or embarrassed about their desires, body, or identity
Disconnected from their partner and unsure how to feel close again
The good news: healing is absolutely possible!
With the right support, you can let go of shame, learn to trust your body again, and build the kind of connection you’ve been wanting. If this sounds familiar, please know this:
You are worth caring for. You are worth the time, energy, and support it takes to feel better.
I’m so glad you’re here. Take your time looking around, and reach out if you’d like to work together. You can also schedule a free, no-pressure consultation call to see if we’re a good fit and to learn how sex therapy can help change your life.

Why work with me?
I’m Holly —
I have been providing mental health care in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Salt Lake City, Utah, for the past five years.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR-Certified, and AASECT Sex Therapist (in training). My passion is helping people heal from sexual shame, trauma, pain, and disconnection, so they can build relationships that feel safe, joyful, and deeply connected.
I provide a sex-positive, queer- and kink-affirming space, welcoming all identities, orientations, and relationship styles.
I combine evidence-based practices like EMDR and EFT with trauma-informed, compassionate care — so your healing journey feels safe, personalized, and empowering.
My work has been featured in HuffPost, Stylist’s Strong Women, Well Beings News, and Voyage Phoenix, where I’ve shared insights on sexual wellness, intimacy, and healing.
Outside of my work, I’m a travel enthusiast, paddleboarder, horror fan, child-free auntie, and in a happy 6-year interracial relationship. I bring both professional expertise and authentic compassion into my work with clients. If you like what you see so far,
