The most rewarding thing I do is help people create more intimacy & vulnerability with themselves and others. One of my main focuses is helping clients embrace their relationships in healthier ways. I enjoy working with clients who have blocks that are keeping them from desired romantic relationships. Together we can address underlying stresses from trauma or current triggers and work through them, developing new coping skills along the way. I believe individuals understand their strengths and limitations best, and so my task will be in helping to deepen awareness.

You are looking for help because you have reached a dead-end. Perhaps you are having trouble with an important relationship, or with your job. Perhaps you cannot get along with yourself. Whatever the difficulty, you realize at this point that you cannot sort things out on your own, and you are hoping that psychotherapy might help. I provide individual psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, a more intensive form of psychotherapeutic work. My job is to help you to find a way beyond the dead-end, so that you can ultimately move on from the limitations of your current situation.

The aim of my practice is to establish a foundation based on trust and understanding so we can collaboratively build a suitable space to face challenges while maintaining a sharp distinction between feelings, thoughts, actions, and the roles that they may fill.

When it comes to sex and relationship problems, many of us lead lives of quiet desperation. Sometimes you can be lying in bed next to someone and feel a million miles apart. I am a licensed psychotherapist, specializing in couple therapy and sex therapy. I am the New York Times best-selling author of "She Comes First," and I regularly contribute to major publications such as The Atlantic, The Economist and CNN Health amongst others. Talking about sex and relationships is hard, but self-silencing is even harder. My approach is solutions-oriented, with an emphasis on honest communication, and I give homework in between sessions.

I am a creative, dynamic psychoanalyst, who has a background in Fine Art. I have practiced for over 15 years with a wide range of patients with a primary focus on creating a space to allow for the work to start to acknowledge, engage and integrate different parts of themselves - leading in time to a more fulfilling and informed life. This is difficult, often painful work. In a way, you come in to this to have to fail, to let go of who you think you should be (past and present) and find ways to see where you are rather than where you are not. It is a journey akin to entering the green world of Shakespeare, unchartered territory.

Do you want to change how you feel, your habits, or how you interact with others? You deserve a therapist who will listen with empathy and offer insight without judgment, someone who will help you figure out what is holding you back and how to overcome it. This may require examining your perceptions, your interactions, and even your history. Evidence-based techniques and coping mechanisms may also be helpful.

Psychotherapy is, most honestly, a very remarkable and often surprising kind of 'conversation.' The distinction being that when we have a 'conversation,' we only know where it will begin, but not where it will end. The 'getting there,' the movement toward 'the end,' is often a thought-provoking, pleasurable, funny, sad, profound experience that changes people in wholly positive ways. When therapist and patient develop a good working relationship, transformative things can happen. My work centers around creating a serious, useful, and private space to begin exploring the depths of what causes you to suffer, or feel misunderstood.

Sexual Addiction Therapists
When should someone seek treatment for sex addiction?
People should seek treatment for sex addiction if they cannot control their sexual thoughts or behaviours to the point that it disrupts their ability to function in daily life, for example by threatening their finances, career, or relationships. This may include spending an excessive amount of time obsessing over sex, planning sex, watching pornography, or masturbating, as well as consistently engaging in risky sexual activities, using sex to escape distressing feelings, or attempting yet failing to control sexual behavior.
What are the most common treatment options for sex addiction?
Psychotherapy is the most common treatment for sex addiction; therapy helps patients better understand their compulsive thoughts and behaviors and develop strategies to manage their desires. Therapy may be supplemented by medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-androgens, and the alcohol and substance use medication Naltrexone, as well as support groups, such as 12-step programs.
How long does therapy take for sex addiction?
Recovering from compulsive behavior takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but research suggests 12 therapy sessions may be enough to see change. Treatment for sexual compulsions requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers and developing coping skills, and potential lifestyle changes such as cutting out alcohol or drugs.
What if sex addiction is left untreated?
Compulsive sexual behavior can have serious repercussions if left unaddressed. For example, if sexual obsessions consume the vast majority of a person’s time, they may lose their job. If they can’t stop paying for sex, their finances may suffer. If they’re dishonest in their relationships, their partner may leave them. If they consistently feel shame, they may struggle with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Therapy can help people develop the tools to manage sexual thoughts and behaviors that feel uncontrollable.
