SPEAKING
Bring a Sex Therapist and Licensed Counselor to Your Next Event - Big or Small!
Karissa also conducts staff training or lunch and learn sessions to educate other counselors or professionals on the topic of sex therapy.
As a licensed counselor and certified sex therapist, I am equipped to speak on a range of topics related to sexuality and mental health. I am passionate about providing education and guidance on issues that are often shrouded in shame and silence.
One of my favorite topics to speak on is Single Sexuality and Dating. In today's world, dating can be a complex and confusing experience, especially for those who struggle with shame around their sexuality or for those who are unsure how to navigate healthy boundaries around sex and sexuality. I provide practical tools and insights to help individuals navigate the dating world with confidence and intentionality.
Another important topic I address is Female Sexual Dysfunction and Low Desire. Many women suffer in silence with sexual issues that can have a significant impact on their overall wellbeing and relationships. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to discuss these sensitive topics and provide information on ways to address desire concerns and the sexual difficulties women may be facing.
Finally, I am passionate about addressing Sexual Shame. Shame is a powerful emotion that can prevent individuals from experiencing the fullness of their sexuality and the life God intended for them and can have negative impacts on mental health and relationships. Through my talks, I help individuals explore potential root causes of sexual shame, including how scripture is often misinterpreted and used as a weapon against women, and provide practical tools to overcome shame and live a more fulfilling life.
I also enjoy teaching groups about boundaries, communication, and relationship health.
My speaking engagements are always compassionate, informative, and engaging. I believe that education is key to overcoming shame and stigma around sexuality and mental health, and I am committed to providing safe and supportive spaces for individuals to explore these topics.
