I specialize in the treatment individuals and couples dealing with sexual addiction (Problematic Sexual Behavior - PSB) and have for 20 years, treating hundreds of addicts and their partners. I am certified in treating sex addiction (S-PSB). PSBs reflect underlying problems in relationships, emotional attachment, affect management, and impulse control. Treatment engages the whole person, not merely suppression of problem behaviors. Therapy requires compassion, acceptance, and respect. I combine knowledge and wisdom with understanding, creativity, and humor in a down-to-earth, practical approach.
I am an active, intuitive, no-nonsense therapist who helps people achieve their goals through empathetic listening and guidance regarding how their thinking, feeling, and acting restrict and distort their lives. I connect easily with people. And I am funny. This allows folks to open up about their histories, conflicts, frustrations, and suffering
Problematic Sexual Behaviors often involve codependency, other addictions, depression, anxiety, infidelity, and relationship problems. These issues are rooted in attachment, intimacy and affect regulation problems. Treatment extends to these and other issues.
