I work with individuals and couples who feel disconnected from themselves, their partners, or the intimacy they want in their lives. Many are thoughtful, reflective people who have tried to understand the problem on their own but still feel stuck. Some come in for relationship challenges, while others are navigating sexual concerns, shame, desire differences, or the unique ways autism shapes intimacy and connection. Together, we look beneath the surface to understand patterns, strengthen communication, and create relationships and sexual experiences that feel more authentic and fulfilling.

Sexual addiction isn't the real problem — it's the strategy.
You’re stuck. You keep going back to porn. You don’t know why. You're tired. Tired of hiding. Tired of failing. Tired of pretending Sunday morning is fine when Saturday night wasn't. Maybe it's porn. Maybe it's something you'd never say out loud. Maybe your wife just found out and you're both bleeding. Maybe you can't even name what's wrong — only that the man you thought you'd be by now hasn't shown up. You've tried harder. You've prayed more. You've promised yourself you'd stop. It hasn't worked. There's a reason.You’ve tried harder. You’ve prayed more. You’ve promised yourself you’d stop. It hasn’t worked.

There is no such thing as an ideal client. That is too boring. The way I do therapy is relaxed. I am not your average therapist, and I am not going to be like, "How does that make you feel?" but I am going to say, "What up! How are we doing today?" I never stop learning, and when you have me as a therapist, you will see that you will fall back in love with learning. Overall, I am just honored you allowed me to help you! Also, the best way to reach me is to Email over calling due to normally being in session, and I want to respond to you as quickly as possible!

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 behavior.

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 behaviors and develop strategies to manage their desires. Therapy may be supplemented by medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-androgens, and the alcohol and substance use medication Naltrexone, as well as support groups, such as 12-step programs.

How long does therapy take for sex addiction?
Recovering from compulsive behavior 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 behavior 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 behaviors that feel uncontrollable.
