If you’re struggling with sexual urges or behaviors that feel out of control, you are not alone, and you are not beyond help. Compulsive sexual behavior, sometimes referred to as hypersexuality or sex addiction, can affect anyone, regardless of background, gender, or relationship status. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to help you understand and manage these patterns in a healthy and constructive way.
Compulsive sexuality may manifest as persistent sexual thoughts, frequent use of pornography, risky sexual behavior, or a sense of being “trapped” in cycles of acting out followed by guilt or shame. These behaviors can interfere with relationships, work, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. You may have tried to stop or change on your own, only to find yourself falling back into the same patterns. That can be incredibly frustrating and isolating, but therapy can help.
My approach to treatment is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique experience. Together, we’ll explore the underlying emotions, beliefs, or experiences that may be fueling compulsive behaviors. Often, these patterns are not simply about sex, but about coping—coping with stress, loneliness, past trauma, or unmet emotional needs.
Treatment is not about shame or judgment—it’s about understanding, growth, and reclaiming your sense of self. We’ll work collaboratively to help you build healthier coping strategies, set meaningful goals, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Many clients find that therapy also strengthens their relationships and deepens their emotional connections. If you’re in a partnership, I can offer guidance for navigating these issues with your partner or recommend couples therapy if appropriate. Healing is possible, and it often begins with taking that first step to reach out.
