About

You might be feeling caught in a cycle you can’t seem to break—whether that’s compulsive sexual behavior, pornography use, or the deep pain of betrayal in a relationship. Maybe trust has been shattered, leaving you questioning your worth, your reality, or your future. You may feel stuck between wanting relief and not knowing where to start, or worried that no one will truly understand. My ideal client is someone who wants clarity, healing, and reconnection—with themselves and with others—but feels overwhelmed, ashamed, or uncertain about how to get there. At the core, you’re looking for honesty, safety, and a way forward that works.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating sex and pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, and unresolved emotional wounds. My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including EMDR, to help process trauma at its roots—not just manage symptoms.Whether you’re struggling with compulsive behaviors or the impact of a partner’s actions, let's talk.

Reaching out for help in these areas can feel intimidating—but you don’t have to navigate this alone. I understand how vulnerable it can be to share these parts of your story, and I strive to meet you with warmth, respect, and genuine care. Healing is possible, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now. Let's work together to make meaningful change.
