I believe that we are all in a continuous process of identifying our internal resources, embracing our own creativity and mobilizing our psychic energy. My aim for therapy is to help my clients arrive at a personal, yet structured and novel, understanding of themselves, others and the world around them. I invite my clients to enrich their personal narratives and use their own unique abilities and skills. Each session is a collaborative attempt to elaborate on the client’s mental map. Each conversation is a mutual dialogue on how you could experience yourself differently.

Most people come to therapy because something isn’t working anymore - patterns keep repeating, emotions feel overwhelming, or life looks fine on the outside but doesn’t feel that way internally. My role is to help you slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and figure out what actually needs attention. Sessions move at a pace that feels manageable, with room for honesty, curiosity, and even humour when it shows up.

You’re carrying the weight of betrayal: whether you’ve been unfaithful or discovered your partner’s infidelity. The pain feels insurmountable, and moving forward seems harder than expected. If you’re grappling with physical, emotional, financial, or online infidelity, you're likely searching for clarity, healing, and a way to rebuild trust. Your goal? To restore what’s been fractured, to heal, and to decide the next steps: whether that’s together or apart.

I specialize in supporting individuals facing debilitating self-doubt, anxiety, and depression, as well as couples recovering from infidelity, loss of connection, waning intimacy, or crumbling stability. My experiences in private practice, ongoing professional development, and supervisory roles, have shaped my identity as a therapist who places authenticity and creative problem-solving at the center of navigating life’s challenges. This insight is further deepened by my lived experience as a blind individual, as this perspective enriches my attunement to the resilience, vulnerability, and complexity clients carry.

Sexual Addiction Counsellors
When should someone seek treatment for sex addiction?
People should seek treatment for sex addiction if they cannot control their sexual thoughts or behaviours to the point that it disrupts their ability to function in daily life, for example by threatening their finances, career, or relationships. This may include spending an excessive amount of time obsessing over sex, planning sex, watching pornography, or masturbating, as well as consistently engaging in risky sexual activities, using sex to escape distressing feelings, or attempting yet failing to control sexual behaviour.

What are the most common treatment options for sex addiction?
Psychotherapy is the most common treatment for sex addiction; therapy helps patients better understand their compulsive thoughts and behaviours and develop strategies to manage their desires. Therapy may be supplemented by medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-androgens, alcohol and substance use medications, as well as support groups, such as 12-step programs.

How long does therapy take for sex addiction?
Recovering from compulsive behaviour takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but research suggests 12 therapy sessions may be enough to see change. Treatment for sexual compulsions requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers and developing coping skills, and potential lifestyle changes such as cutting out alcohol or drugs.

What if sex addiction is left untreated?
Compulsive sexual behaviour can have serious repercussions if left unaddressed. For example, if sexual obsessions consume the vast majority of a person’s time, they may lose their job. If they can’t stop paying for sex, their finances may suffer. If they’re dishonest in their relationships, their partner may leave them. If they consistently feel shame, they may struggle with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Therapy can help people develop the tools to manage sexual thoughts and behaviours that feel uncontrollable.
