Sex
Addiction

Sex addiction is a difficult and often misunderstood challenge. More than just a desire for physical pleasure, sex addiction often stems from developmental trauma, creating a cycle of secretive behavior that slowly destroys one's integrity. This hidden life can lead to an overwhelming cascade of emotions - hopelessness, depression, anxiety, shame, guilt, and even suicidal thoughts. Overall, the relentless craving for satisfaction through this addictive behavior never truly fulfills, which frequently leads to destructive repercussions such as financial loss, damaging relationships, legal implications, and potentially ruining reputations if exposed. However, recovery is within reach, and though it may be hard to believe this in the moment, you are not defined by your addiction.
 


What to Expect

When you decide to seek help for sex addiction, you're taking the first step toward reclaiming your life. In our sessions, we will work together to uncover the underlying oppositions that fuel your addiction. My approach is compassionate and personable, all within an unbiased environment where you can safely explore the root causes of the behavior. We will focus on identifying and resolving these core issues, which often include developmental trauma and other emotional wounds.

Our sessions will involve practical strategies to help you regain control and rebuild your life. We will address the triggers and patterns that perpetuate your addiction, developing healthier coping mechanisms along the way. You’ll learn skills to manage your emotions, improve your relationships, and restore your integrity. Through this process, you’ll find that recovery isn’t just about stopping the addictive behavior; it’s about creating fulfillment, redefining your future, and recognizing that sex addiction doesn't have to be the thing controlling your life.

​

Remember, healing is not only possible but also within your reach. Together, we will work towards transforming your powerlessness into strength and finding the serenity, peace, and tranquility in life you deserve.
