When was the last time you felt deep pleasure, connection or acceptance within yourself or a relationship? Therapy works when you find someone who gets you. As one of only 10 AASECT certified sex therapists in Oregon, I'm training a team to provide inclusive sex positive treatment for individuals, couples, groups and LGBTQIPA+ folks. We focus on the treatment of trauma, sexuality challenges (arousal, performance, desire mismatch, healing abuse, pain), gender concerns including resources during the gender affirmation process and exploration of alternative sexualities or relationship configurations including non-monogamy and kink.

Collaboration is always in order when addressing individual differences and needs, since no two people are the same. My approach is to work close with patients utilizing empirically vallidated techniques conveyed in a user friendly manner. Identifying core conflicts, enhancing patient understanding and education,and treating underlying causes, not symptoms, is essential if relief from the distress is to be achieved.

Are you feeling vulnerable, uncertain, or afraid? It’s common for past memories and emotions to resurface during times of change, such as starting or ending a job or relationship.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand the pain you're experiencing and am here to support you in navigating these feelings, helping you reclaim your sense of self and belonging. You don’t have to face this alone.

As a drug and alcohol counselor, I envision my ideal client as someone who is deeply motivated to break free from the destructive patterns of substance use but feels trapped by their current circumstances. They may be dealing with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem, which fuel their dependency on drugs or alcohol as a way to cope. This client is someone who recognizes the toll their addiction has taken on their relationships, career, and physical health, and though they feel overwhelmed, they are ready to take the first steps toward change.
