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.
Facing sexual addiction can feel isolating and overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. With years of experience in this sensitive area, I offer a non-judgmental and supportive space where we can explore underlying issues and work towards healthier coping mechanisms. Together, we can find a path to recovery that respects your unique experiences and strengths.

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.
