Sexual Addiction Therapists in Oceanside, CA
Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

It is my goal as a therapist to break the stigma of therapy. Some still believe that only “broken people” seek therapy and I am here to tell you that is not true! Seeking therapy is NOT a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength! We, as humans, were created for connection and expression, and the therapy room is simply a safe space for that to occur. Whether you are dealing with fear, loss, uncertainty or just need someone to talk too, I am here. There is no issue that is too big to bring in the room!

These are certainly challenging times. Difficult emotions like loneliness, fear, anger, shame and disillusionment can take over, and you may feel like your life is out of control. Maybe things look good on the outside, but you feel uncertain on the inside. Maybe you have been avoiding things by “self-medicating” with alcohol, food, substances, TV, or the internet? Maybe you are having conflict with someone you love. Maybe “old stuff” is bubbling up? No matter what, you have arrived at this moment for a reason- you are ready to really look deeply at some things and make some changes! Therapy is a great place to do that.

This is a time of heightened anxiety for everyone. Because Covid-19 is a novel virus, no one can predict exactly how this will all play out. Looking at other countries who are further along in the process can provide hope that we will make it to the other side of this event. If you are finding that your anxiety has gotten the best of you, it can be helpful to talk with someone who is able to connect you to your best thinking. That is a skill I have been practicing for over 20 years...connecting people to their best thinking to help them start doing their part differently.

Therapy is about the connection between you and me. This is the beginning of a profound review of one's life that points to a future with less pain. My calling is to be in this process with you to better health. My speciality is Men. In today's culture they are often left behind; yet men struggle with: lack of purpose, sadness, anxiety, trying to figure out who they are-just like anyone else. James Hollis puts it this way…“Who Am I apart from my history and the roles I have played?” Perhaps you feel the dreams of youth have been derailed or are inconsistent with where you thought you’d be now. Let’s take a look.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and adult adhd. I take an integrative and strength-based approach to healing that attends to the mind, body, and spirit. I believe that humans are inherently resilient and what may have worked to help you cope in the past, may not be working for you in the present. This can show up through behaviors such as isolating from others, internalizing other people's behavior as your fault, scanning for threat, addictions, risk taking, over working, perfectionism, etc. I want to help you rediscover your strengths and deepen your sense of hope so you can lead a more vital, exuberant life.

Sexual Addiction Therapists
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.
