Sex Therapists in Salem, OR

As a trans man with 7 years experience with ethical non-monogamy, nothing is too taboo -- LGBTQ, kink, non-monogamy, etc. All is welcome here.

I provide compassionate, inclusive care for individuals and partners navigating sexual health, intimacy, and relationship concerns, including those in ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships. My collaborative, evidence-based approach offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges such as low or changing desire, sexual dysfunction, performance anxiety, intimacy concerns, and the emotional or relational dynamics that may arise in diverse relationship structures. When appropriate, I integrate medication management with supportive therapy and education to help clients improve communication, strengthen connection, enhance sexual well-being, and foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Somatic sex education is a phenomenal modality for addressing sexual concerns, especially sexual confidence, sexual communication, low libido, reliable access to orgasm (or access for the first time), navigating the impact of illness or disability on sexuality, and erectile concerns. It's an embodied education or coaching model, not therapy. You are NOT broken. You CAN learn skills to increase your sexual satisfaction. And as you deepen your awareness of you body, you will discover more pleasure than you thought possible. Ready to take the first step towards more pleasure? Contact me today for your FREE consultation.

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.

Sexual concerns can be influenced by emotional, relational, and physiological factors. As a certified sex therapist, I provide a comfortable, nonjudgmental space to explore issues such as desire discrepancies, performance anxiety, trauma, and communication. Therapy focuses on helping you build a more connected, satisfying, and authentic sexual experience.

Salem is Oregon's state capital and has a large and established Spanish-speaking Latino population, particularly connected to the agricultural sector of the Willamette Valley, making bilingual Spanish and English therapy provision an important feature of the local mental health landscape. Oregon State Hospital, one of the state's primary psychiatric facilities, is based in Salem, and the city is a significant regional center for mental health services across the mid-Willamette Valley. Salem Health's behavioral health services contribute to a reasonably well-resourced local mental health infrastructure. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, and the stresses of agricultural and service sector work, as well as the particular needs of a large immigrant and refugee population navigating life in a mid-sized state capital.
