On the surface, your life may look normal while you are battling addiction, struggling with sexual concerns, and feeling stuck in relationship issues. You crave connection yet find emotions slippery, sometimes turning to substances to cope, and talking about sex brings shame or silence. Therapy can help you rebuild trust, safety, and healthier ways of relating. I work with the lasting effects of addiction, sexual difficulties, and partner conflict so past patterns stop steering daily life. Together we will explore triggers, develop safer coping strategies, and practice clearer communication to reclaim closeness and balance.
With over 13 years helping clients with addiction, sex therapy, and relationship issues, I provide steady, nonjudgmental support. In sessions we identify patterns that lead to substance use or sexual shame and build practical skills for emotional regulation and intimacy. The aim is to reduce urges, improve sexual comfort, and restore healthier relationships.
Please contact me for a free 15-minute consultation. I will meet you at your point in the journey of life and offer you the support needed in regaining control. I also provide support for those experiencing paraphilias, members of the kink community, and individuals struggling with sex addiction. Supervised by Nicole Shields, LCSW-S, MSSW, MS (40377)
