Porn addiction can slowly wear down trust in a relationship, leaving one partner feeling deeply hurt and inadequate while the other feels stuck in a loop of guilt, secrecy, and broken promises despite all their willpower. With time, this often turns into growing distance or even a sense of betrayal. If this is your reality, you are not alone. What may start as normal screen time or social media can slide into porn sites, cam sites, or OnlyFans and become a pattern that is hard to control, even for men disciplined in every other area of life.

I work with individuals and couples who want to deepen their resilience and stay engaged in their relationships even when things are hard. My clients are diverse: parents who are breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and conflict, LGBTQIA+ folks who are coming out “late” in life, couples who want to heal their relationship and deepen their intimacy, people (especially men) who struggle with managing their anger, and people navigating separation and divorce. I know what this stuff like - I've lived through it and I've supported clients through it - so I know how hard it is to find a counsellor who really gets it.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Counselling Supervisor. My practice is guided by extensive experience working with people coming from various socioeconomic backgrounds as well as many years of serving the most vulnerable communities in Vancouver’s DTES. While my approach is integrative of modern theories and techniques, it heavily relies on Psychodynamic theories and practice. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a highly individualized treatment whose goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptom. It relies on the fact that our personalities are uniquely shaped by several developmental stages.

We work with folks leaving unhealthy/toxic belief systems and support them to navigate difficult emotions, understand the past and present, and gain autonomy in their decisions so that they can live authentically and on their own terms. Many who leave, deconstruct, or change religion or belief system experience a great deal of loss, stress, anxiety, depression, and overall disorientation. What was once a trustworthy belief system is now full of doubt, supports are no longer available, relationships often suffer, and past trauma or adverse religious experiences follow you wherever you go. The resulting loneliness can be staggering.

You’ve been trying to keep it all together — showing up for everyone, staying strong, holding in the emotions, keeping quiet — but deep down, you’re lonely, hurt, and lost.
You feel it at night when everything goes quiet. You feel it in your body, in your chest, in your thoughts that keep looping. You’re exhausted. And a part of you knows… something needs to change.
This is where healing begins.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work together effectively, but, especially for those whose concerns relate to their religion or cultural background, a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond, even if they do not have an extensive history with or understanding of their client’s background before therapy begins.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Church of Christ/Latter Day Saints values?
Each individual brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of therapeutic modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition such as LDS that strongly influences the conduct of everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process.
Why might someone feel comfortable with an LDS-attuned therapist?
While qualifications and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic effectiveness. It is wise to find a therapist who is responsive to your questions and concerns and with whom you feel you can establish a rapport. A therapist who is sensitive to LDS values and beliefs and the role they play in the lives of Church members can offer Mormon clients a welcome sense of safety, assurance that their community and culture will be understood, and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, all of which support the therapeutic process.
How do I recognise a good LDS therapist?
LDS therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Mormon principles and values. They have an understanding of the culture and the important role the Church plays in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of emotional difficulties those raised in the faith can be prone to. Like all effective therapists, a good LDS therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of everyday life.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Mormon/LDS therapists?
The directory of LDS therapists includes therapists who have shared their cultural background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information; these individuals would not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with LDS clients and/or communities, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
