I specialize in relationship and sexual issues 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.
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. Looking forward to hearing from you!
