Have you carried pain in silence because “people like us” don’t talk about mental health? I work with clients who feel torn between cultures, family expectations, and their own identity. Many navigate trauma, generational conflict, anxiety, depression, or the pressure to be the strong one. They want clarity, emotional relief, and a place where their culture, language, and story are understood. I offer a safe, culturally aware space to explore your experiences, make sense of long-standing patterns, and reconnect with your authentic self.

I help men struggling with sex addiction, porn addiction, love addiction, and enmeshment to break free from compulsive patterns, reduce shame, and build healthier relationships.
You promised yourself you’d stop porn or cam use, but feel unable to. Guilt and shame follow. You may have seen a sex worker and worry about your family’s health. Dating apps take over your time. You feel intense attraction quickly, chasing “the one.” In recovery from substances, but sexual behaviours have increased.

It was meant to be rainbows and fairytales, not discussions around housework, money and sex - or friends and inlaws!
Working through your traumas whilst in the room together can help each other see what is happening for you. Empathy and understanding can be shared. It can be tricky to do, and I can help you do that. Communication is about comprehension and understanding each other, not just talking. This is where most relationships struggle, the misalignment.

Sex Therapy
Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
