You’re stuck in the same destructive cycles-whether it’s toxic relationships, addiction, or emotional numbness-and no matter what you do, nothing seems to change. Maybe you keep attracting narcissistic or borderline partners, or you’re battling sex or porn addiction in secret. You might be carrying the weight of sexual trauma, struggling with self-worth, or using alcohol to cope. You’ve tried to “just move on,” but the past keeps pulling you back. You need real solutions, not just another therapist nodding along. I specialize in helping people break free from self-sabotaging patterns tied to addiction, relationships, and trauma.
As an attachment-focused therapist, I work with those struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors, the fallout of abusive or manipulative relationships, and deep-rooted emotional pain that’s been ignored for too long. My approach is direct, unfiltered, and often infused with dark humor, because therapy should be real-not just polite conversation.
We meet via audio and start by mapping out your full life narrative, meeting weekly to get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck. I work with LGBTQ, those in polyamorous relationships, and anyone navigating identity, intimacy, and shame. If you’re ready to confront the patterns that keep you trapped, let’s talk.
