Problematic sexual behaviors often stem from unresolved trauma. These behaviors aren’t a moral failing, but rather adaptive strategies that once served a purpose, like regulating intense emotions or coping with underlying pain, but have become problematic over time.

In therapy, we’ll work together to understand the unique factors that are contributing to your behaviors and explore helpful alternatives. This allows you to heal from the root rather than relying on temporary solutions.

The most effective treatment for porn and sex addiction is one that addresses the underlying causes rather than focusing solely on the behaviors themselves.

I use approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care to help you understand the thoughts, feelings, and past experiences that drive your behaviors. I firmly believe that healing happens when we work with the whole person, not just the symptoms.

You might benefit from therapy if sexual behaviors feel out of control, interfere with your relationships or work, cause significant shame or distress, or if you've repeatedly tried to change these patterns on your own without success.

If you're asking this question, it often means part of you already knows something needs to shift, and that awareness is a powerful first step toward healing.

I support individuals struggling with compulsive pornography use, excessive masturbation, infidelity, anonymous sexual encounters, compulsive use of dating apps, or any sexual behavior that feels out of control and causes distress in your life or relationships.

Whatever brings you to therapy, know that you won't be judged—these struggles are more common than you might think.

My approach works best for individuals who are ready to engage in deep self-exploration, motivated to understand patterns beneath surface behaviors, and seeking authentic transformation rather than quick fixes. I work particularly well with high-performing professionals who are outwardly successful but internally struggling.

Begin with a free, confidential consultation call where we'll discuss your concerns, goals, and determine if my approach aligns with your needs. This no-pressure conversation helps ensure we're a good mutual fit before beginning therapeutic work.

Working together will be a partnership where we explore what's really driving these behaviors and help you develop new ways of caring for yourself. Many clients find that we start by creating some trust and stability, then gradually dive deeper into understanding the emotions and experiences that have shaped these patterns. Over time, as you develop more insight and self-compassion, you’ll be able to replace these challenging behaviors with healthier coping skills.
