I provide psychological services to help people struggling with symptoms of addiction or compulsive sexual behaviors. Having over 25 years in practice, I treat those that suffer from symptoms caused from childhood experiences of neglect, emotional, physical or sexual trauma. 'Less than nurturing' parenting can cause adulthood anxiety, depression and addiction. Many of my clients have struggled with addictive behaviors using substances (alcohol, drugs) or processes (sex, love, work) to deal with emotional pain. There is a high correlation between painful childhood experiences and addictive behaviors.
I have over 25 years of experience working in psychology and I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT). I treat sex addiction, love addiction, childhood trauma, and PTSD. I also have many years of experience helping couples with marriage and relationship counseling.
My extensive experience in the mental health field coupled with specialized training in addiction and trauma have enabled me to be more successful treating clients in an empathetic and non-judgmental way. The only way out is through, and I'm here to help!
