I know what it feels like to be stuck, repeating the same behaviors over and over again. I know how it feels to say with all your heart, "I'll never do that again" - and mean it sincerely; but find yourself repeating that behavior again. I know how it feels to be in despair and hopelessness. I know how deep shame can run and how much it can control your life. I know what fear feels like and why it is embarrassing to admit that you need help.

I largely work with those dealing with depression, anxiety, and sexual addiction, although I find it exciting to work with many different issues including problems with self-esteem, marital concerns, parenting difficulties, and chemical dependency.
Sometimes in life, we get frustrated, overwhelmed, confused, hurt, or just plan tired of struggling. It’s at times like these that we’re most vulnerable. And, in order to make it through the fight, we need a listening ear, guidance, and, sometimes, a push in the right direction, so we can become the best version of ourselves. Most of the time, that takes a lot of work and time. It is my privilege to assist in this process of life change. I enjoy meeting people where they are and, together, working on their unique and personal goals.

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.
