Therapy Services Tailored for Sex Addiction & Betrayal Recov
Sex Addiction & Out-of-Control Sexual Behaviors (OCSB)
- Compulsive pornography use
- Escalating sexual behaviors despite consequences
- Risky or secretive sexual behavior
- Chronic infidelity
- Anonymous hookups or affairs
Our work begins with a comprehensive assessment and continues with structured individual and/or group therapy to address both the behavior and the underlying emotional or relational wounds driving it.
Betrayal Trauma & Infidelity Recovery
Being the partner of someone who has cheated, lied, or hidden sexual behaviors can result in intense emotional trauma, including symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and deep self-doubt.
As a Certified Partner Specialist Candidate, I use the APSATS and IITAP-informed models to provide a roadmap for stabilization, validation, and eventual relational repair—if and when you’re ready.
You deserve support that understands this isn’t just about trust—it’s about trauma.
Couples Therapy & Disclosure Support
I help couples navigate structured therapeutic disclosure, develop healthy boundaries, and rebuild connection using trauma-sensitive communication tools.
Even if you aren’t sure whether you want to stay in the relationship, therapy can provide the clarity and emotional safety needed to make empowered decisions.
