Sexual addiction (SA) is a hidden addiction. It is a global problem, under-reported, and largely untreated. SA harms relationships, creates relational trauma for partners, and damages trust and intimacy in relationships. Addicts often engage in secrecy and feel shame and guilt about their behavior. Partners often feel betrayed and traumatized by the addicts behavior. Intimacy issues are often an underlying concern for both individuals and for couples. Like other addictions, SA can get progressively worse over the years. If untreated, SA can lead to relationship loss, divorce, job loss. financial problems, and legal problems.

Are you suffering from low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma? Feeling overwhelmed by the stressors of the world? Feeling disconnected from life and don't know what to do to change and get the quality life you deserve? Tired of feeling angry and misunderstood?

I aim to ask insightful questions & provide tools to empower you to navigate the waves of transformation with ease.
Life can be incredibly challenging! In our busy, individualistic society, it’s easy to feel disconnected from ourselves. We can be negatively influenced by "the rat race," social media, chronic stress, and maladaptive coping mechanisms, which may lead to symptoms of anxiety and depression. These symptoms can be understood as signals from the body, indicating a need for attention and care. Sometimes, all we need to do is slow down, breathe, and turn our focus inward.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and identifying how to work through it can seem out of reach. Our world is changing so fast and figuring out how to navigate it as a young human in a way that feels authentic can seem impossible. Maybe you experienced something in the past that sticks with you, making it hard to navigate the present. Or maybe the future feels so daunting that taking the next step feels terrifying. Maybe things feel hopeless and you are not sure they will ever get better. It is okay to not be okay. If you want help but do not know where to start let's talk and figure it out together!

I believe that within a healthy therapeutic relationship, transformation is possible, even wondrous.
"You are braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem. Smarter than you think." -A.A. Milne. If this is your first step in wondering if therapy is right for you, I'm glad you made it here. If you, or someone you love, has been diagnosed with a life-limiting or terminal illness, I'm glad you made it here. If you're struggling with feelings of grief, loss, burnout, isolation, depression, or anxiety, I'm glad you made it here. If your once-fulfilling work (paid or unpaid) now feels draining, I'm glad you made it here. Therapy is the process of exploring what restricts us and developing the skills and insights to nurture growth.

Are you feeling "stuck" or "shut down"? Perhaps you're feeling like you are on a never-ending "hamster wheel" and are having trouble making sense or finding purpose in your life. Maybe anxiety or depression are preventing you from engaging with yourself and the world in the way that you would like - more connected, more open and less "closed off." I can offer a safe space for you to process these and more life issues you are facing, freeing you from the burden of bearing them alone and perhaps learning new strategies to cope with life's stresses. Normally you're pretty good at overcoming obstacles but are finding it challenging.
