About

If an addiction has impacted your quality of life, close relationships, and created a division in every aspect of your life, then you've come to the right place. Whether you struggling with alcohol/drugs, trauma, sexual addiction, pornography addiction, or love/relationship addiction, we can work together to stop unwanted compulsive behaviors. You might be troubled by your behavior and unsure on whether or not your behavior is problematic, but you've broken trust with your partner and needing to repair the relationship. With my training and experience, we’ll determine if it’s problematic, and identify the next steps.

I’ve worked in the addiction field for more than 11 years and specialize in sex, porn, and love addictions. Through the International Institute of Trauma & Addiction Professionals I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and Certified Multiple Addictions Therapist for Love Addiction (CMAT). I have an intuitive skill set for relationship repair.

Living with an addiction can be a lonely and isolating life. The pressures of the world build and the shame and guilt become overwhelming. The whole process can be very confusing and embarrassing. Working together in an empathetic, understanding, and non-judgmental way we can address the root causes that tie us down.
