Meet Heather
Hi! I’m Heather Brooks Rensmith, an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon and Washington, and owner of Switch On Sex Therapy. I feel honored to do this work every day, to help all people get clearer on how to improve their relationship with themselves and their partner(s). Romantic and sexual relationships are often the most important —and at times, the most challenging — relationships of our lives.
Regardless of your relationship structure, kinks, queerness, or consensual sexual behaviors, or uncertainty of the role sexuality plays in your life, I’d love to work with you to figure it out. I’ll partner with you and yours and meet you with warmth, curiosity, openness, a bit of playfulness, respect, and care. I especially enjoy working with people willing to make the commitment to gaining insight and are willing to experiment to find what works. You may be dealing with pain, low or no or differing interest in sex, or finding that your body is otherwise interfering with your ability to be sexual. You may be struggling with problem sexual behavior and are seeking a safe place to work toward creating your own vision of sexual health. You may be wondering if there is a different way of relating to your sexuality that gets you closer to experiencing what all the hype’s about! Reach out for a consultation to see what’s possible!
