I'm the owner of Hey Emma, a sex therapy, relationship therapy, and sex education practice with four locations in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana working to increase intimacy and decrease shame. After struggling with my own sexual health challenges with little to no access to help, I sought out to make sure others didn’t have to go through the same obstacles. With 45,000 clients sessions delivered and a sexual therapy certification school, I'm passionate about making sexual healthcare accessible to everyone. I've sought out nationally as a speaker on sexual health matters and have served on multiple sexual health boards. My specialty areas focus on medical sexual health challenges, sexual pain disorders, desire discrepancies, couples therapy and sexual trauma. I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology, am a licensed professional clinical counselor, supervisor, and an AASECT certified sex therapist, supervisor.clinicians.
