Divorce does not have to happen.

Things are WAY better as a result, which is incredibly satisfying, and also our kids reap the benefits. Subsequently, I've done a very deep dive into the most trusted models of couples therapy and have found the wisdom therein to be priceless. If you are looking for relationship help, please feel free to contact me.

What I love most about this work is watching people reconnect with themselves—gaining insight, building emotional resilience, and moving toward more fulfilling lives. Whether it's setting boundaries, grieving something long buried, or beginning to believe in their own worth again, I find deep meaning in those moments. Working with the LGBTQ+ community is one of the most meaningful parts of my practice. I strive to create a space that is not just affirming, but actively supportive—where gender, sexuality, and identity are explored with safety, respect, and care.

What if anxiety didn’t have so much control over your decisions? And any time you were stuck in the depths of it, you could separate yourself from the thoughts, feelings, and urges that hold you down? Many people who struggle with social anxiety and "porn addiction" (more accurately called compulsive porn use) feel helpless, unsure about what change even looks like. But the truth is, anyone can be helped—just with the right direction and time to practice new ways of thinking. My only goal for you is to leave therapy with insight and skills that help you see anxiety and urges as passing experiences, not rulers of your life.

Sexual Addiction Therapists
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.
