sex addiction and problematic pornography use therapy

As an IITAP Associate Sex Addiction Therapist Candidate, I provide therapy that offers a specialized approach designed to help individuals struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors, problematic pornography use, and the impact these behaviors can have on their lives and relationships. Using a structured, task-centered approach developed through the work of Dr. Patrick Carnes, author of Facing the Shadow, sex addiction therapy helps clients recognize unhealthy patterns, understand the underlying factors contributing to their behaviors, and develop practical tools for lasting recovery. Treatment focuses on building honesty, accountability, emotional awareness, and healthier coping strategies while addressing shame, trauma, and relationship challenges when relevant. Through individualized assessments, therapeutic exercises, and recovery planning, clients can begin breaking destructive cycles and work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. You are not defined by your past behaviors. Recovery begins with understanding your patterns and taking meaningful steps toward change.
