Let's Keep in Touch

I am fascinated by the way  connections work. I am most passionate about exploring how they lead to meaningful and fulfilling relationships, the way they help us grow, how they contribute to our awareness of self and others, and how all of these could be seen similarly and differently across relationships, cultures and organizations.

It's a culmination of my work done in dozens of countries all around the world. If you can't make it to the event at Stanford (registration is still open!), you can still learn from this resource. Tap the link in my bio to download a free #WheelOfContext resource or to buy the book. Thank you to my colleague, @KarenRayne for her kind words. 📚 . . . #SexEd #SexEducatorLife #SexTherapist #NeverStopLearning #CulturalContext #Diversity #DiversityAndInclusion #HumanConnection #CrossCulturalLearning #ThisIsPublicHealth #Inclusion

What Clients Say

Sara is a skilled trainer, thinker and advocate in SRHR, adolescent sexual health and development, and inclusion. She has a strong network and is well-respected in her field. I'm happy to support her recommendation!
Justine Sass
Justine SassChief, Section of Education for Inclusion and Gender Equality at UNESCO
I worked together with Sara while she was leading customer insights within the Pfizer primary care division. Sara brought a completely different perspective on human nature, motivations and beliefs. And she often helped teams of marketers to figure out new and creative ways to understand and shape customer beliefs. But I would say above all else, Sara draws people to her with her infectious enthusiasm and magnetism. This combination of expertise in human behavior and likability make her a great person to work with or to bring into your organization to infuse a fresh perspective.
Dan Seewald
Dan SeewaldFormer Head of World Wide Innovation at Pfizer
Sara's knowledge about sexuality, cultural diversity and medical and cognitive behavioral treatment of sexual dysfunction is extraordinary. She is a wonderful teacher–supportive, encouraging, warm, funny, generous, responsive and challenging. Her clinical insights are extraordinary, and she communicates them in a way that always helps me apply them constructively in therapy sessions with my patients. Her interventions are effective, creative and grounded in CBT techniques as well as psychodynamic interventions. I can’t recommend working with Sara highly enough.
Johanna Herwitz, PhD
Johanna Herwitz, PhDNYS-Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I have known many with abundant expertise, quite a number with the passion for what they do and many more truly care about serving and giving of oneself. But there are a few of us who actually combine all three attributes that are essential for creating a vibrant and meaningful community of practice. Sara is one of the few.... Sara it's been a pleasure working with you and most importantly knowing you…
Dr. Mona Kaidbey
Dr. Mona KaidbeyDeputy Director, Technical Division, UNFPA
Sara brings a truly unique capacity as a thought leader. She is one of the few people in the world who I know will work through sensitive issues and concerns with individuals, groups, or organizations in ways that offer perspective, compassion, and concrete, useful outcomes. Sara brings a deep understanding of diversity and inclusion, a global perspective, cultural proficiency, and a seniority that is deeply influential. I highly recommend Sara in all capacities.
Karen Rayne
Karen RayneExecutive Director at Unhushed
Sara is a special professional. She is a global change agent, who comfortably exhibits thought leadership in her focus areas, is organizationally aware, and culturally sensitive. Because of these qualities, Sara can bring down the walls of exclusion at whatever level she works; from helping individuals and couples look more introspectively, to speaking in front of audiences, to having difficult conversations in the boardroom.
Paul DiPrato
Paul DiPratoExecutive Leader and Consultant With Finance & Strategy Expertise
Working with Dr. Nasserzadeh was my secret weapon — she was my business (and sometimes personal) Cyrano de Bergerac. As a C level executive working with a largely male senior team and board, Dr. Nasserzadeh’s astute insights and communications strategies proved critical in helping me navigate my way through numerous tricky conversations and situations. I am deeply grateful for her wise counsel and feel lucky to have her in my life.
Jules K.C-level executive of tech startups, formerly at Google
Dr. Sara helped me to look at my own behavior and understand how I was creating my own rut and then getting stuck in it. Her guidance helped me unlearn some of my worst habits, and really connect with Clara instead. I think going to her saved our relationship. We’re now very happy together and the proud parents of a wonderful son, conceived and born since our time with Sara.
