I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (IITAP) and have extensive experience working with people who suffer from compulsive sexual behaviors. If you struggle in intimate relationships, I have decades of experience working with clients with childhood attachment wounds that ultimately create difficulty in adult relationships. I help clients by evaluating your issues or diagnoses, creating with you an effective treatment plan. This usually helps you decrease anxiety in your relationships, effectively resolve conflict in your partnership and to experience more peace and happiness in many areas of your life.
I trained with Patrick Carnes and Pia Mellody at the Meadows', a world renowned center for the treatment of childhood trauma, sex and love addiction, as well as substance use disorders. I am also a member of AASECT and SASH and continue to learn as the field of 'sex addiction', now known as Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder continues to evolve.
If you struggle with intimate relationships, I have extensive experience working with clients with trauma and attachment wounds. I work with clients to learn and utilize the most effective communication techniques given, and can help you understand yourself and your partner better.
