LPC, CSAT
Discover Freedom from out of control sexual behavior, enhance intimacy, build trust, and improve communication in your relationship.
When the empty “hole in your soul” can no longer be filled with risky behaviors, realize that there is hope. When you engage in counseling with a team of certified sex addiction therapists, you’ll discover how to break though loneliness and secrecy and finally face the underlying issues which may cause you to behave against your values. Together, we’ll develop effective strategies to overcome urges, manage stress and fill up the emptiness, loneliness and sadness with healthy alternatives. Then you’ll have the tools you need to live a life worth living.
I have been married for 51 years to my unconditionally loving wife and use this experience, along with my professional training, counseling over 1000 clients with relationship and intimacy issues, out of control sexual behavior, and betrayal trauma, using the eight stages of intimacy model, DBT skills and experiential therapy in a practice based on respect, acceptance with change and non-judgment.
I see individuals and couples struggling with sex, porn and love addiction, internet addiction, betrayal trauma, intimacy disorders, depression, anxiety and related disorders.
Sex and love addicts feel tremendous guilt and shame about their out-of-control behavior, and they live in constant fear of discovery. Yet addicts will often act out sexually in an attempt to block out the very pain of their addiction. This is the addictive cycle. Like other forms of addiction, sex addicts are out of control and unable to stop their behaviors despite their self-destructive nature and potentially devastating consequences.
Our goal is to help you develop mutual respect in your relationships, define boundaries, discover how to value yourself instead of depending on others.
