Sex Therapists in Springfield, OR
I have 15+ yrs experience in helping couples overcome conflict, young adults cope with life changes, individuals with anxiety, depression or ADHD, people overcome porn or sex addiction, and all people with sexual functioning concerns.
At some point in our lives, everyone gets stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior or interactions. At some point we all need help. There comes a time when we all need to look in the mirror and face it, change needs to happen. Thats where I come in. I'm here to help. I have a direct approach to therapy which tends to be supportive and caring yet proactive and goal oriented. This strengths based approach seems to really help people get "unstuck" and allows them to find new ways of approaching their concerns. I enjoy working with and getting to know all types of people. I work with individual adults, couples and families.

My clinical interests include sex therapy, psychosomatic education, intimate partner violence, trauma processing, and sexuality.
I view therapy as having the ability to assist clients in unlocking the innate internal resources needed to promote individual and systemic growth, leading to meaningful change. I implore a liberatory approach by analyzing the client’s context within the systems theory framework and the effects of interpersonal interactions on the client. I aim to provide a safe and inclusive therapeutic environment to support client’s mental health regardless of cultural or personal identities such as race, gender, or sexual orientation.

I provide a holistic, strengths based, and non-pathologizing approach to wellness. I am a compassionate listener and active participant in helping people realize self-compassion and acceptance so they can heal past wounds and make changes in their lives that allow them to fully realize who they are at their core. Through use of sensorimotor/somatic therapy, EMDR and IFS (you can read more about these on my website), I help people learn to listen to their bodies and their internal wisdom so they can make choices that are in line with their values and hold themselves with more confidence and ease.

I have been honored to work with individuals and couples who have improved their communication, boundary setting, and coping skills through practice, dedication, and the power of a restorative and healing therapeutic relationship. I have often been amazed and inspired by the clients I have seen who uncover their potential, and overcome obstacles that they once thought were insurmountable. We both influence and are influenced by our environments and relationships. The same way we are molded by these experiences, we can also create self change through support, tools, and the power of intention.

(Current availability for in-person individual clients) Over the past twelve years, I've helped clients with a broad range of issues, including anxiety, grief, self-worth, shame, childhood trauma, intimate relationship problems, OCD, Type 1 Diabetes burnout, existential/spiritual issues, family dynamics, parenting, addiction, and men's issues. It's a great honor to witness again and again how hardship often gives way to something new and beautiful: It can open the door to asking for help. It can lead you to consider making bold changes. It can force you to get serious about what is really important to you.

Sex Therapy
Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.
Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.
What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.
What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
