Sex Addiction & Parenting: Betrayal In Families
LCSW
Verified
Verified
Families are greatly impacted by betrayal, infidelity and sex addiction. As parents struggle to orient themselves to a new reality in the face of betrayal, it can be overwhelming and painful for a parent to recognize the immediate and future impact on their children. Well meaning parents can unintentionally make serious mistakes in managing the family during this painful and confusing time. You may have questions at this time such as “How is the tension in the household affecting our child?" and “Is our child internalizing emotional pain that we can't see?”

Do you find yourself overthinking daily, repetitive thoughts holding you hostage and making your world smaller? Anxiety effects are also somatic. It drains energy, makes us tired, nervous and tense. My hope with you is to facilitate a safe space where you can comfortably encounter these feelings and begin to relate to anxiety with curiosity, openness and awareness. Psychological awareness allows us to re-negotiate how we interpret anxiety and how we relate to it.

Mental health struggles are real! Black women, men, and elite athletes especially have their own set of unique pressures that add to the emotional distress we often battle in silence. You need empathy and support when you become emotionally fragile, but because you’re expected to be strong, your emotional needs go overlooked and unattended. You try to deal with depression, anxiety, & being overwhelmed, alone, while still showing up as stable. Life is not easy, but remember, it’s okay to pause and seek the emotional support you need, so that you can heal from within, and achieve the mental wellness, wholeness, & balance you deserve.

We will work in a confidential space, where we thoughtfully,carefully, and intelligently reflect on your emotional life. We can gently explore the origins of your feelings and work through how they show themselves.
Our work will be focused in the here and now: by exploring who you are right now, change in your outlook or actions becomes possible. Generally, I use ideas firmly grounded in psychoanalytic theory and technique that are informed by my personal practice of Zen meditation of over ten years.
Paying attention to what you do and how you feel can reveal the source of discomfort.

It takes a certain person to look for support, and I commend you on taking this first step. Life is challenging, and there are times when no matter how hard we try, things just don’t change. We often find ourselves spinning out of control feeling overwhelmed, scared, sad and tired… beyond tired, feeling alone, stuck and in pain, dealing with distressing thoughts, feelings and body symptoms. And the list goes on.

Welcome to my practice. I have about 15 years of clinical experience and have been featured on NBC/KCAL/HLN as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.
