I provide comprehensive forensic assessments to assist the courts or child protection in making determinations about sentencing or access to children.

Together, we look at what is not working right now and what you would like life and relationships to feel like instead.

I help clients facing sexual addiction, abuse, and relationship struggles.
You’ve been betrayed by someone you loved and trusted. Your partner, spouse, or someone close? Has the betrayal has left you in shock, confused, and devastated? It can literally feel like the ground has been pulled out right from under you, and you find yourself questioning everything you thought you knew and loved. The emotions can come in waves—anger, sadness, fear, or even numbness—and at times, it can feel overwhelming. It’s hard to know what to do next. This is completely normal, and it’s okay to feel lost right now. My goal is to help you make sense of what happened and start finding your footing once again.

Do you feel blamed, unheard, or shut down in your relationship? Do small conversations quickly escalate into criticism, defensiveness, or silence? Maybe you walk away from arguments replaying everything, wondering how it got so intense. Old hurts, betrayal, or broken trust may keep resurfacing, even when you’re trying to move forward. Underneath it all, you don’t want to fight—you want to feel close, safe, and like you’re on the same team again.

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.
