Why Therapy with Kimberly Is Different — Research-Informed Sex Therapy & Trauma Treatment
Sex and trauma therapy with Kimberly is grounded in clinical research and nearly two decades of experience as an AASECT-certified sex therapist and AASECT-certified sex therapist supervisor.
Scientific insight informs therapy every step of the way. Kimberly conducts research on:
How childhood maltreatment and trauma-related mechanisms shape adult sexual functioning
The role of PTSD symptom clusters in predicting sexual health outcomes
How the autonomic nervous system’s responses to trauma interact with sexual arousal and response
Gender differences in sexual functioning after early childhood trauma
This research directly informs how we assess, conceptualize, and treat concerns in the therapy room. View Kimberly’s ResearchGate page to learn more and stay informed about the latest research in these areas of scientific inquiry.
