About Sandy Rose

Meet Sandy

I have always believed that relationships and emotions are our greatest teachers. I am a sensitive and deeply feeling person. While I once thought this made me too emotional, I now recognize it as one of my strengths as a therapist. Empathy comes naturally to me and energizes my work.

Before becoming a therapist, I explored many different careers. I worked as a fitness trainer, a middle school teacher, an executive assistant, and a startup founder. Through each of these experiences and through the relationships in my life, both romantic and otherwise, I learned the importance of authentic self-expression and play. These lessons shape both my life and the work I do with clients. I find meaning in helping people put words to things they have never shared before, and supporting them as they grow more comfortable with themselves. Being trusted with someone’s honesty is something I truly value in this work.

My approach is client-centered, humanistic, and direct. When working with sexual concerns, I bring curiosity and a focus on pleasure to help clients move past discomfort or dissatisfaction. I am especially skilled at supporting women with painful sex and guiding couples through mismatched desire. I am committed to creating an environment where connection, openness, and genuine conversations about intimacy are welcomed. My goal is to help every client experience fulfilling relationships, satisfying sex, and authentic self-expression.

How I Help

I work with clients facing intimacy and communication challenges, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, and more. I help people understand their needs, move past discomfort, and build lasting confidence. My work is rooted in the belief that every person deserves to be met with respect, acceptance, and compassion. Here, you will find practical guidance, support, and a space where nothing is too awkward to discuss.

I am open and affirming to polyamorous, kinky, and LGBTQIA+ communities. Every perspective and experience is respected.
