Sexual Addiction

   

I have specialized in the treatment of Sex Addiction for over a decade. Some people do not agree with the term “Sex Addiction”, preferring to call it Compulsive Sexual Behavior or Hypersexuality. Personally, what concerns me more than the correct term is providing the best, and most comprehensive treatment possible for those who are struggling.

General Therapy

   

I treat individuals who are struggling with a wide variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma/ PTSD and abuse, relationship issues, stress, grief and bereavement, and LGBT issues. In individual treatment it is my goal for the client to become more aware of and more comfortable with their true selves.

Relationship Issues

   

Since I became a psychologist, I have been providing treatment for couples and spouses. When couples come to my office, they often say that they have been having the same arguments over and over again. They cannot seem to get past these reoccurring conflicts. They feel stuck. My job as a relationship therapist is to help my clients to uncover the deeper meaning behind these conflicts.

Hello, and welcome to my website. If you are reading this, then you may have come to a point where you have decided that it is time to get some help. Perhaps it is time to make some necessary changes in your life. Perhaps you are struggling in an important relationship. Perhaps you are experiencing some intolerable emotions. Perhaps you are going through something painful or stressful and simply need to talk about it.

It is my strong belief that we all need assistance at times, and it is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength to reach out for a helping hand.

Our brains and bodies are designed to function in relationships, not in isolation. – John Cacioppo Ph.D.

We are not meant to exist in isolation. Many of my clients initially come to see me because they are experiencing either physical or emotional isolation. Human beings are biologically “hard-wired” to be social creatures, and it is through these interpersonal connections that we can grow, evolve, and ultimately heal. A strong relationship with an experienced and caring therapist can be exactly the type of connection you might need to begin the road to healing and change.

It is always my goal to create a supportive and nurturing therapeutic environment where my clients can feel safe to explore themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. It is through these explorations that changes can be made, relationships can improve, and life can become more fulfilling and rewarding.

Once again, welcome.
