Sexual behavior or porn is running you.

How We Work Together Toward Healing

When you walk into my office, you'll find a space where you can be completely honest without judgment. That's how therapy works best as a real partnership between us. Everything we do together is built on empathy, trust, and methods that actually create lasting change.

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I have specialized training to help you work through addiction, intimacy struggles, and trauma. We'll dig into the deeper roots of what brought you here. Those patterns that feel so overwhelming right now? They usually trace back to earlier pain or things that never got fully resolved. When you start to understand the why behind your behavior, real healing becomes possible.

But insight alone won't get you where you want to go. You'll also learn practical tools to handle difficult emotions, respond differently when you're triggered, and build healthier ways of connecting. I use proven approaches, including EMDR when it helps, all tailored to what you actually need to move forward.

Whether you're working through personal struggles, trying to save your relationship, or picking up the pieces after betrayal, we're working toward the same thing: helping you create a life that feels calmer, more connected, and genuinely whole.
