Compassionate Psychotherapy Services for Addiction & Trauma Recovery
As a seasoned psychotherapist with over 25 years of clinical experience, I specialize in treating compulsive sexual behaviors, sex addiction, and trauma-related disorders. My practice integrates evidence-based methodologies with personal insight gained from my own 15-year recovery journey, allowing me to connect deeply with clients facing similar challenges. I provide individual and couples therapy, both in-person and through secure telehealth platforms, tailored to residents of California and Texas. My approach emphasizes creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore the root causes of their behaviors, including childhood trauma and attachment issues.Through comprehensive assessments, psychoeducation, and customized treatment plans, I help clients develop healthier relationship patterns and sexual templates. My work combines traditional weekly sessions with intensive three-day workshops for accelerated healing. I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), with expertise in deconstructing the neurobiological and psychological components of addictive behaviors. My practice philosophy centers on destigmatizing sex addiction while equipping clients with practical tools for sustainable recovery and emotional well-being.
