I offer both traditional general therapy and sex therapy, with a current focus in my practice on treating sexual pain disorders (such as dyspareunia and vaginismus), anxiety about sex, coping with low desire in self or partnership, building sexual & relationship security and confidence, and coping with stress brought on by relationship difficulties including: finding a dating partner, moving in together, managing conflict, balancing household responsibilities fairly, break-ups/divorce, and exploring an open-relationship. Please navigate to my website if you'd like to learn more about my therapeutic style and background.
I utilize a custom therapy approach drawing from the cognitive therapies & interpersonal neurobiology while integrating creative approaches as desired from the fields of art therapy, depth & archetypal psychology, personality typology, and existential therapy. I have advanced education & training in couples/relationship work, art therapy, and sex therapy.
I have a hybrid online & in person practice for residents of Oregon & California. My in person office location is in Tigard, Oregon. Feel free to click the "Email me" button here, or navigate to the "Contact" page of my website. I am unable to answer phone calls during office hours, but will do my best to return your message by the end of the week.
