My Clients are adults grappling with compulsive sexual behaviors, encompassing sex addiction, porn addiction, sex offending, infidelity, and trauma. Despite feeling overwhelmed, they bravely confront their struggles, seeking healing and change. They have a genuine commitment to therapy, aiming to unravel underlying trauma and break free from destructive patterns. With empathy and evidence-based interventions, they embark on a journey of self-discovery, striving to reclaim agency over their sexuality and rebuild trust with themselves and others. Their hard work results in sexual healing and the restoration of authentic intimacy.
I'm an experienced LCSW with 15 years of expertise specializing in treating individuals and couples grappling with sex addiction and porn addiction. I've been a CSAT since 2011, integrating evidence-based approaches. Additionally, I'm a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner since 2016, adept at addressing trauma to facilitate holistic healing.
Struggling with sex or porn addiction can feel isolating, but you're not alone. As a seasoned therapist with deep empathy, I'm here to offer understanding and support. Let's embark on this journey together towards healing. Reach out today; your courage deserves to be met with compassion.

I primary use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in treating addiction. With CBT, the aim is to address addiction by identifying and modifying unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors. In treatment, you can expect a collaborative approach, exploring triggers, developing coping strategies, and fostering long-term recovery through personalized interventions and support. I use SE for trauma healing.
