About My Clients
Hiding sexual secrets, an affair, or sex addiction is hard. Has someone you love betrayed you and left you brokenhearted? Coping with sexual compulsion and/or porn addiction often feels shameful and uncertain as to how to make better choices. Betrayed partners are traumatized, angry and deeply hurt. I can and will help you begin to heal these wounds and have hope, inspiration and direction as you begin the journey towards a new, more free existence.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Someone once said “When you’re going through hell keep going.” Well, I’ve been there and kept going. The ability to reach someone suffering as someone with experience can be very helpful. We can use lots of ways to help break the logjam such as art therapy, trauma processing exercises, role-play, eye movement desensitizing reprogramming or just plain time tested person centered therapy, or combinations to help you get out of hell! From peer based recovery to volunteering and professional experience I’m able to come from a background of knowing what it’s like to have really hard times with no hope to overcoming, feeling inspired and guiding others along the way.
