When I was in my twenties, I saw a psychotherapist who was completely silent. He didn't help very much. Then I saw another who listened, talked and changed my life. I’ve modeled myself on the second. In a word, if you are not living your ideal life if you're affected by trauma, loss, or unhelpful patterns of thought or behavior, I think you'll find that this process can truly make a difference.

We live in the context of our relationships and in times where we experience conflicts within them, we can feel like we are hitting a wall, stuck, or that we are not being seen or heard. Blind spots and ineffective patterns of communication can also leave us feeling unhappy and unfulfilled. Whether with our family, friends, or colleagues, our ability to navigate our complex intersectional identities (i.e., race, class, sexual orientation, gender, and spirituality) can be challenging. Working to improve this area can a catalyst for improved relationships and wellbeing.

You wake up, go through the motions, and wonder, “When does it get better?” You’ve tried all the things—hitting the gym, meeting new people, keeping busy—but nothing really changes. You want to feel happy, confident, and like yourself again, but life keeps getting in the way. And honestly, keeping up the act is exhausting. You don’t want to burden others, so you keep it all in, hoping things will eventually get better on their own. But deep down, you know something needs to change. It’s time to put yourself first, take back control, and finally feel good again—because you deserve it.

If you’re silently struggling with porn addiction, you already know the emotional toll: shame, secrecy, and the frustration of breaking promises to yourself. Whether it’s Pornhub, OnlyFans, cam sites, or endless scrolling, your partner may feel hurt and disconnected. You’re likely overwhelmed by guilt and stuck in patterns you swore you’d quit. Even if you’re not in a relationship, porn may still be affecting your confidence, focus, or ability to connect. It doesn’t have to stay this way. I help men who feel stuck in this cycle break free from compulsive porn use and rebuild intimacy without shame or judgment.
