My Approach to Helping
Are you holding on to sexual secrets and feeling tired of the stress of keeping them hidden? As a therapist specifically trained in sex addiction, I can help. It's important for you to know that you're not alone in the situation that you are in, and there is always a pathway out of this.
You may be worried that you're going to lose your partner or spouse, hurt your children, or jeopardize your career. Don't let these secrets control your life any longer. You can start today by taking that most difficult step of calling someone who can help. I know that it's not easy, but you don't have to live in a world of fear, shame, and guilt.
Together, we will create a plan that will help you gain control of your sexual behavior. Whether you're struggling to gain control of your use of pornography, phone or cybersex, or you have been having anonymous sex, I can help. I also know that this behavior isn't easy to talk about. That is why I approach such topics with a gentle approach. Then we will work so that you can get your partner or spouse to trust you again, improve on your sexual relationship, and live a content life overall.
Don't allow your stress, guilt and shame to mount any higher. Call me today to learn more about how I can help you with the difficulties in your life.
