I am a certified sex addiction and pornography addiction therapist. My primary area of work is helping individuals struggling with the challenges and resulting complications from sexual and pornography addiction. In addition, I assist the betrayed partners to come to some level of understanding and healing from what they have recently discovered, and been traumatized by. My certification in EMDR trauma therapy is particularly helpful to both the addict and the partner in discovering and healing the current or past issues that may come to the forefront in the therapeutic process.
Through consultation in an empathetic counselling relationship I am able to provide therapy for individuals, partners, and couples suffering the consequences of sex and pornography addiction, as well trauma that may or may not be related. I provide in-person or online therapy (through a secure and confidential system).

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
