My ideal client is someone struggling with addiction, trauma, or unhealthy relationship patterns. I help men, women, and couples who feel stuck in cycles of shame, isolation, and self-sabotage. They need a space free of judgment where they can rebuild self-worth, develop resilience, and break destructive patterns. I also work with high-profile clients in film, TV, and music, offering trusted referrals, absolute discretion, and sensitivity to privacy. Their goal is to live authentically, build meaningful connections, and move forward with clarity, purpose, and self-compassion.

I specialize in addiction, trauma, and men’s mental health, providing a direct yet compassionate approach. I offer individual therapy and a men’s sex addiction process group, creating a safe space to break destructive cycles, build self-worth, and develop healthy relationships. Together, we take action toward healing, growth, and lasting change.

You don’t have to keep living in shame, isolation, or self-doubt. Change is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re struggling with addiction, trauma, or relationship challenges, I’m here to help you break free and reclaim your life. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s start the journey together. I’d love to hear your story.
