Therapists in Princeton, NJ

Work with a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) to heal from sex and/or porn addiction. Sex/porn addiction is a clinical disorder which has ruined countless lives and families but responds to effective treatment. If you are struggling with sex/porn addiction, you know how debilitating it can be--shame, self-loathing, unable to stop your problematic behaviors and facing consequences. If you are the partner of a sex/porn addict, you may be wondering where to turn, bewildered and betrayed by the one you love. Good news: you do not have to continue suffering.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate difficult times in their family and personal lives. In addition to working with adults struggling with a variety of issues, I have particular expertise in treating women of all ages. I believe that therapy is most effective when it is focused on helping you best understand yourself including your past, your current struggles and your hopes for your future. In therapy with me, you'll explore your whole self; logistically, psychologically, and spiritually.

Christian has 19 years of experience as a therapist and believes the most important component of therapy is the client/therapist relationship.

As a psychologist, I appreciate the opportunity to witness peoples’ capacity for not only surviving, but also thriving in today’s complicated world. My experience over the past decade has brought me to understand the many ways a therapist’s role is akin to that of a gardener tending to a lotus. Just as the young lotus needs tender care and stillness, I provide a safe, nurturing and collaborative environment. Respecting the lotus’s need for sunlight, I approach therapy with warmth, openness and humor. As a Confucian scholar once said, “I love the lotus because while growing from mud, it is unstained.”
