My SA recovery groups are based on the Patrick Carnes model of recovery. I have a tiered system of groups with each group having a different focus. The first group starts with the basics of recovery and sobriety. The second group is focused on root causes of addictive behavior. The last group is focused on intimacy issues and life changes that lead to long-term recovery and relational healing. The groups are supportive and educational. We use an eclectic combination of materials I have found to be helpful and effective for change. The groups are the heart of the process.

I have special experience and training with relational trauma and sexual addiction.
Our office is a warm, friendly, and professional place. Respect and personal diginity are two things I value, and try to make part of everything I do. In session, I usually have an eye on how to make positive and realistic change one day at a time. I often provide homework to challenge clients to be growing outside of our sessions. I understand how difficult it is to connect with a therapist. I offer free consults so you can meet me and see if it is good fit.
Have you been burned by 12-Step groups or find them not helpful at all? Welcome to the 70% of people who have tried and failed to stay sober with them. We need a new type of support group that takes the best of 12-Steps and change the parts that only work for the minority of people. So if you are struggling with any form of addiction whether it is chemical or process addictions & need help but don't was a 12-step group then this is the group for you.

Sexual Addiction Support Groups
When should someone seek treatment for sex addiction?
People should seek treatment for sex addiction if they cannot control their sexual thoughts or behaviours to the point that it disrupts their ability to function in daily life, for example by threatening their finances, career, or relationships. This may include spending an excessive amount of time obsessing over sex, planning sex, watching pornography, or masturbating, as well as consistently engaging in risky sexual activities, using sex to escape distressing feelings, or attempting yet failing to control sexual behavior.
What are the most common treatment options for sex addiction?
Psychotherapy is the most common treatment for sex addiction; therapy helps patients better understand their compulsive thoughts and behaviors and develop strategies to manage their desires. Therapy may be supplemented by medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-androgens, and the alcohol and substance use medication Naltrexone, as well as support groups, such as 12-step programs.
How long does therapy take for sex addiction?
Recovering from compulsive behavior takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but research suggests 12 therapy sessions may be enough to see change. Treatment for sexual compulsions requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers and developing coping skills, and potential lifestyle changes such as cutting out alcohol or drugs.
What if sex addiction is left untreated?
Compulsive sexual behavior can have serious repercussions if left unaddressed. For example, if sexual obsessions consume the vast majority of a person’s time, they may lose their job. If they can’t stop paying for sex, their finances may suffer. If they’re dishonest in their relationships, their partner may leave them. If they consistently feel shame, they may struggle with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Therapy can help people develop the tools to manage sexual thoughts and behaviors that feel uncontrollable.
