Meet Taylor Spaziani:

Taylor Spaziani is the intake coordinator and clinical manager at Respark. She is currently a graduate student working on her degree in couples and family therapy at the University of Colorado Denver and is beginning to work on her sex therapy certification. She has wanted to be a sex therapist since she was in the 5th grade, and has been learning about all things sexuality since. One of her favorite sayings she lives by is, “embrace your weirdness,” because she believes the unique qualities we hold as individuals are what brings the world magic. She thinks society has a terrible way of making us feel like we all need to look and act like one another, to mask ourselves into the roles that society wants to see us as. This is why she loves studying sexuality as a profession because sexuality reminds her of just how unique we all are. Taylor believes in the power of helping others embrace their unique selves, especially their unique sexualities. It truly brings her so much joy and she continues to thrive in her lifelong educational journey and a constant hunger for learning more and doing better for the greater good of her community.
