After experiencing betrayal and sex addiction, many individuals face PTSD struggles. It's important to recognize that your symptoms are normal in the context of these challenges. Together, we will work to overcome these issues and help you create the life you desire.

I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with compulsive sexual behavior and pornography use. Reaching out for help in these areas can feel daunting and shameful, but I offer a non-judgmental environment where you can find the support you need. As a certified sex addiction therapist, I have the expertise to guide you in overcoming these challenges. Additionally, I am trained in betrayal trauma to assist you in helping your partner heal.

In my work with clients facing sex addiction, I employ attachment theory to understand the condition as an intimacy disorder. By exploring the roots of attachment patterns, I help clients recognize how these influence their behaviors and relationships. This approach fosters empathy and understanding, aiding in the healing process for both the individual and their partner. Through compassionate guidance, we aim to rebuild connections, promoting resilience and hope for a healthier future.

In my therapy practice, I use cognitive behavioral therapy to address sex addiction behavior by focusing on minimization and denial thinking. Through compassionate and empathetic guidance, we work to identify and challenge these thought patterns, paving the way for genuine recovery. Clients benefit by crafting a concrete plan tailored to their needs, offering a path forward and fostering resilience. Together, we strive for a future filled with hope and healing.
