Now accepting virtual clients in Florida and North Carolina. Sex addiction, porn addiction, and betrayal trauma will keep you from being the best partner, parent, or person you can be. I work closely with all my clients to build trust, so that together, we can start to chip away at the deep shame and trauma that often underlies and results from sex and intimacy disorders so that you can find true and sustainable recovery.

I have over 20 years of clinical experience in behavioral health care at various levels of care. I specialize in treating sex addiction, porn addiction, and cyber addiction as well as acute and complex trauma, codependency and enmeshment, and partner betrayal trauma. I am licensed as a psychotherapist in both Florida and North Carolina.

I am here help you to rise above and reconnect once again with your true values. “I made a vow to God that I would get myself out of hell and that, once I did, I would go back into hell and get others out. That vow has guided and controlled most of my life since then.” -Dr. Marsha Linehan

I believe in a three tier approach to sex addiction treatment including individual therapy, peer support, and a holistic lifestyle. Trauma and attachment issues are often at the root of addictive behavior, and I necessarily address co-occurring trauma as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. I am highly skilled in supportive couples through the process of guided therapeutic disclosure.
