Sex Therapists in Portland, OR

I am a board-certified Clinical Sexologist with close to twenty years of experience working with people to sort out their intense feelings and complicated thoughts around sex. I am patient and kind, and have extensive experience in alternative relationships, monogamous relationships, community issues, exploration, and moving through breakup to what comes next.

Struggling with your sex life? You’re not alone, and a brighter path awaits. Your longing for a vibrant, fulfilling sexual life is valid—whether you’re single, partnered, or exploring, and whether you’re grappling with intimacy challenges, mismatched desires, or healing from sexual or religious trauma. As a therapist with over 20 years specializing in sex, relationship, and sexual and religious trauma therapy, I create a warm, safe space to honor your story. It all starts with nurturing your relationship with yourself. Worried your concerns aren’t “normal”? They are, and they matter. With compassion, I’ll guide you through a tailored plan to heal wounds, build confidence, and deepen connections—body, heart, and soul. Ready to embrace your sexuality as a source of joy? Reach out today, and let’s start this journey to a more connected, confident you together.

I love to talk about sex! Sex is a beautiful thing and we all should be having as much of as we want without feeling ashamed, guilty or worried about expressing our internal truth regarding our sexual identities, sexual practices, and our sexual health and functioning in our relationships. I enjoy helping clients to explore their sexuality in a safe and affirming environment that provides unconditional positive regard, empathy, curiosity and meaningful growth.

Sexual concerns—low desire, pain, shame, trauma, or performance anxiety—are often held in the body and in silence. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore sexuality as part of your whole self. My body-based, culturally centered approach honors your values, identity, and history, helping you move toward pleasure, connection, and sexual well-being.

Intimacy and sexual well-being are essential aspects of a fulfilling life. We help individuals and couples navigate concerns related to desire, performance, communication, and sexual identity in a safe, non-judgmental space.

Portland has a strong therapy culture deeply intertwined with its progressive values, with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, trauma, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city's visible homelessness crisis and political tensions have contributed to significant community-level anxiety, and therapists here frequently address activist burnout, moral injury, and eco-anxiety alongside more traditional presenting concerns. Oregon Health & Science University provides major institutional mental health resources, complemented by a dense network of independent practitioners across the inner eastside, Hawthorne, and Northwest Portland. Oregon's relatively permissive telehealth laws make it particularly easy to access care from across the state.
