Addiction to sexual behaviours and compulsions can feel overwhelming, particularly when that loss of control leads to decisions that involve risking losing the things we truly care about. There is not an agreed upon clinical definition of sexual addiction, but it tends to feel compulsive, excessive and hard to stop despite being aware of the consequences. It is not necessarily the specific behaviours that define the addiction, but how those behaviours leave us feeling. Many people suffer from sexual addiction and the associated shame and guilt that tends to follow. There are some proven strategies to explore the deeper causes of these behaviours and work towards changing them. Most imporantly, a commitment to working on them leads many to learn that they are not alone on this journey.

You thought that you had this under control but you find yourself beginning to act out of character - watching porn at work, reaching out to others in ways you know would hurt your loved ones, you developed a ritual or start pre-planning your next sexual opportunity. This is a life that is spinning out of control. Consider all the devastation once you get caught! All the lies will be discovered. Even when you are telling the truth you will be doubted.
Sex addiction is typically treated over 3 to 5 years, with 98 individual sessions and about 400 12-step meetings.

Our team of Certified Sex Addiction Therapist's and CSAT-Candidates are trained in a specific model that has helped thousands of men and women overcome compulsive sexual behaviour, including sex addiction, porn addiction, betrayal trauma, and other problematic sexual behaviour. We work with men and women who are looking to overcome the shame, powerless, and pain that sex and porn addiction creates.
I work with clients who struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors, pornography addiction and love addiction. I appreciate how these behaviors have often developed as an early coping mechanism to help us deal with complexities of relationships and overwhelm of being in the word. They often begin to impact our mental health and intimate relationships in the long run. I help individuals overcome this, in order to live a more healthy and fulfilling life.
About a third of my caseload at any given time is addictions work, and I see clients who have addictions to sex, alcohol, drugs, gambling, porn use, food, video games/escapism, etc. Understanding how and why people become addicted to any of these behaviours is the first step in understanding how to undo the process that got them there. When working with clients with addictions issues, I take a treatment/tool/protocol oriented approach to helping them manage their addiction permanently.
Sexual addiction can feel isolating and overwhelming, but therapy provides a safe and confidential space to address it. As a therapist, I help individuals understand the underlying causes of sexual addiction, which often include emotional distress, trauma, or unmet needs. Together, we explore healthy coping mechanisms, establish effective boundaries, and work towards building meaningful and respectful relationships. If you're seeking to regain control over your behaviors and thoughts, and strive for a balanced life, reaching out for support in managing sexual addiction is a courageous first step towards recovery.
In addressing the challenges of sexual addiction, I offer a compassionate and understanding space for clients to confront and work through their struggles. By blending a variety of holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic tools, such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, we embark on a journey towards healing and self-control. This personalized approach helps to uncover the underlying issues fueling the addiction, while also equipping clients with the skills needed to manage impulses and rebuild healthier relationships. Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and self-compassion, we work together to foster a deeper connection to one’s self, promoting lasting change and empowerment. My role is to guide you through this process, providing support and the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of sexual addiction, aiming for a balanced and fulfilling life.
