Now she's bringing her expertly designed, interculturally informed approach to you — in an exclusive, start-to-finish training that equips you to confidently assess, diagnose, and treat sexual concerns whenever they arise in practice.

This integrative framework for understanding and treating sexual health concerns was designed specifically to help clinicians move beyond reductionist approaches that treat sexuality as only biological, psychological, or relational — and instead understand it as a multidimensional, meaning-driven human experience.
HAT is one of the first global models to integrate culture, religion, and family systems without imposing one dominant worldview.
