My ideal clients are individuals and couples in Michigan (Farmington Hills, Ann Arbor, and statewide telehealth) impacted by porn addiction, sex addiction/compulsive sexual behavior (CSAT-informed), substance use, infidelity, and betrayal trauma. They feel stuck in shame, secrecy, anxiety, triggers, and conflict and want structured, trauma-informed therapy with accountability and emotion regulation. Goals: to stop the cycle, build integrity and self-trust, create transparency, rebuild trust, and restore safe connection and intimacy. They want tools, relapse prevention, and Gottman-informed communication so relationships feel steady.
If porn/sex addiction, substance use, or infidelity has left you feeling ashamed, anxious or disconnected, you’re not alone. I help individuals & couples in Michigan (Farmington Hills/Ann Arbor & telehealth) with CSAT-informed, trauma-informed care: structure, accountability, relapse prevention, emotion regulation, and trust repair with Gottman skills—today.
Reaching out can be the bravest step. If porn/sex addiction, infidelity, or betrayal trauma has left you overwhelmed numb, or on edge, you’re not alone. Healing is possible. I offer a warm, trauma-informed space for individuals and couples in Michigan to move at your pace, rebuild trust, and feel connected again. I’d be honored to support you—starting today.
