If you’re feeling overwhelmed by patterns of compulsive sexual behavior—or reeling from the pain of discovering a partner’s betrayal—you’re not alone. I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate the complex terrain of sex addiction, compulsivity, and betrayal trauma. Whether you're seeking support to regain control, rebuild trust, or understand the deeper emotional roots of these patterns, I offer a non-judgmental space where healing can begin. My approach is grounded in compassion, clarity, and the belief that recovery is possible—for both those who struggle and those who’ve been hurt.
My area of focus is trauma, specifically, the trauma that underlies sexual addiction, and the betrayal trauma caused by a partner’s compulsive sexual behaviour. I have training as a (CSAT) Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and have completed a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist Intensive to help me better work with clients in these areas.
Our specialities include: sexual addiction, porn addiction, trauma and PTSD, addiction, couples counselling, men's issues, grief, anxiety, anger management, stress, ADHD, relationship issues, and alcohol abuse. I also support partners looking for help to heal in their own journey. For a free 20-minute consult, click "website" or call/email us!
