Sex Therapy IN Tualatin, or

Sexuality is an integral part of who we are as human beings, and yet, it’s a subject that can often feel difficult to talk about, even in the most intimate relationships. Sex therapy provides a safe, confidential space where individuals and couples can openly discuss their concerns around sexual health, intimacy, and desire. It’s about addressing not only the physical aspects of sex but also the emotional, psychological, and relational factors that can influence your experiences. As a sex therapist, I am here to help you understand these elements and work with you to cultivate a healthier, more satisfying relationship with your own sexuality and with your partner(s).

My work as a sex therapist is grounded in empathy, inclusivity, and a deep respect for the unique needs of each client. I understand that sexual concerns can feel isolating, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Whether you're dealing with a specific issue, like low desire or painful intercourse, or broader concerns around intimacy and communication, my goal is to help you approach these challenges with curiosity, compassion, and self-empowerment. In our work together, I create an environment where you can feel heard and validated, and where you can explore sensitive issues without fear of judgment.

What is SEX therapy?

Sex therapy is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals and couples navigate challenges related to sexual health, intimacy, and relationships. It is a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your concerns, ask questions, and receive professional guidance. Sex therapy is not about physical touch or demonstrations during sessions; rather, it focuses on understanding emotional, psychological, and relational factors that may influence your sexual experiences. My goal as a therapist is to support you in discovering a healthier, more fulfilling approach to intimacy, based on your personal needs and values.

Who is Sex Therapy For?

Sex therapy is for anyone experiencing challenges or concerns related to sexuality, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship status. This can include individuals, couples, and partners at any stage of life. Common reasons people seek sex therapy include:

  • Low or changing sexual desire

  • Difficulty with arousal or achieving orgasm

  • Painful intercourse or other sexual discomforts

  • Anxiety or fear around intimacy

  • Navigating changes after childbirth, menopause, or other life transitions

  • Infidelity, trust, or relationship struggles impacting intimacy

Whether you're looking to enhance intimacy in your relationship, understand your own desires, or work through specific sexual concerns, sex therapy offers a supportive environment to address these issues.

What Happens in Sex Therapy?

During sex therapy sessions, we will talk openly about your concerns in a compassionate, judgment-free space. I understand that discussing sexuality can feel vulnerable, and I will always meet you where you are, at your own pace. Sessions might include:

  • Understanding your experiences: We will discuss your history, current concerns, and what goals you have for therapy. This may include your physical, emotional, and relational experiences with intimacy.

  • Exploring underlying factors: Sexual concerns often have emotional, psychological, relational, or even physical components. Together, we will explore how stress, anxiety, trauma, or relationship dynamics may be affecting your sexual well-being.

  • Practical tools and exercises: I will introduce strategies and exercises to help you work through concerns at home. These may include communication tools, mindfulness practices, or ways to reconnect with your body and desires.

  • Ongoing support: As your therapist, I am here to guide you on a journey of self-awareness and healing. We will work together to develop a deeper understanding of your needs and find solutions that help you feel more empowered in your sexual health.

My approach is aimed to always be inclusive, affirming, and focused on your comfort. Whether you are dealing with a specific issue or just looking to improve your intimate life, sex therapy is a step toward greater connection and fulfillment.
