If you’re silently struggling with porn addiction, you already know the emotional toll: shame, secrecy, and the frustration of breaking promises to yourself. Whether it’s Pornhub, OnlyFans, cam sites, or endless scrolling, your partner may feel hurt and disconnected. You’re likely overwhelmed by guilt and stuck in patterns you swore you’d quit. Even if you’re not in a relationship, porn may still be affecting your confidence, focus, or ability to connect. It doesn’t have to stay this way. I help men who feel stuck in this cycle break free from compulsive porn use and rebuild intimacy without shame or judgment.

Not currently accepting new clients.
I am a therapist who creates a safe atmosphere for clients to explore their personal histories. In my experience, an individual's struggles are closely linked to the ways in which they process events from their past. I enjoy making space to slow down and explore these areas and create the energy to move forward. Working with me focuses on processing unfelt emotions, learning new skills to navigate problematic thought patterns and finding ways to transform emotional pain into meaning.

Sometimes there are moments in life when we feel stuck. Regardless of how hard we try, we feel hopeless and lonely. We might be stuck in a negative cycle in a relationship, feeling hurt and alone where communication has become impossible. Together we will figure out what is at the root of this painful situation. We will detect and process painful past experiences as you build your inner resources, feel better, stronger, and in control of your life and emotions. Relational dynamics change as we explore , heal, and reconnect creating a foundation based on trust and deep emotional connection.

If you are wanting to grow more meaning and closeness in your relationships (spouse, children, friends), this is the space for you. Many of my clients struggle with relational depth: not feeling known, persistent loneliness, difficulty talking about feelings, exploding with feelings, and secretly scared of being broken. And they also feel deeply confused. What is really happening that keeps you from experiencing that closeness you know can and does exist for others? If this sounds like you, you likely would benefit from relational and depth oriented therapy.

I am a psychoanalytic provider, which means that you and I will work together to uncover the unconscious logic of your suffering.
Those I work with are often quite stuck. They may even be in crisis. They struggle with anxiety, depression, upsetting or intrusive thoughts/voices, unexplainable feelings in their bodies, painful memories, questions about gender or sexuality, substance abuse, suicide and more. These experiences may interfere with friendships, parenting, romantic relationships and/or work. The symptom, no matter what particular form it takes, is a message that wants to be heard and hopes to be spoken.

I am a systems-oriented therapist who believes that relationships are at the core of living well. My work is grounded in the belief that it is through honest, authentic connection that we find the truest expressions of ourselves.

I use western and eastern therapies such as as CBT, DBT, Psychoanalytic, Narrative and Family/Relationship Systems.
Life is messy and complex. We all want to bring order into many areas of our lives. Where we miss the mark is thinking the goal is to completely solve every issue so we don't experience pain or suffering. Personally, professional or romantically we are going to have deficits. And along with that are the trappings of guilt, shame, fear and anxiety about them and even how to deal with them. But once you have done the work that brought you here originally you will be able to navigate life more effectively. And we both know you can live with that.

Many of us move through life burdened by old patterns, relationship wounds, and unspoken expectations passed down through generations. I offer a space where we can make sense of your story together, with curiosity, compassion, and care. My work centers around healing attachment wounds, navigating anxiety, and shifting the impact of generational trauma so you can move forward feeling more grounded and connected. I integrate trauma-informed CBT with culturally responsive therapy, recognizing how systemic oppression, family dynamics, and cultural expectations intersect with your healing.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
