Trauma, PTSD, Sexual Addiction, and Infidelity

It has been my privilege to work with individuals experiencing pornography and sex addictions, as well as their partners who have found themselves drowning in the middle of betrayal trauma. As you commit to healing, we can re-build the framework of trust within your relationship, deepen the bonds and strengthen the commitment between you.

As a clinician, my desire is to provide my clients a safe and empathic environment where they may experience growth, insight and progress. I implement art and sand tray modalities in my practice as I counsel children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I would be honored to guide you through your recovery and healing process.

In a caring and compassionate way, I help you identify and overcome barriers to your happiness and well-being.
