When is it a “sex addiction?”

It’s sex addiction when it has interfered or impacted your relationships with others. Or work performance. Or school.

It feels unmanageable. 

You’ve tried to stop, but can't stop

Is this therapy only for people in relationships?

No. While many of my clients are navigating relationship fallout, you don’t have to be in a relationship to benefit from this work. If you’re struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, porn use, or emotional disconnection, therapy can help you understand what's driving those patterns, regardless of your relationship status.

What if I feel too ashamed to talk about what’s going on?

That’s completely normal, and honestly, expected. These issues often carry a lot of secrecy and guilt. My job isn’t to judge you. It’s to help you understand what’s happening, where it comes from, and how to move forward without shame running the show.

How long does therapy for sex addiction or infidelity usually take?

There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline. Sorry. 

Some clients come for short-term, skills-focused work. Others stay longer to explore deeper patterns, trauma, or relationship repair. We’ll talk about your goals and build a plan that fits your needs and pace.

What if I’ve already tried to stop before and couldn’t?

That doesn’t mean you can’t change. Most of my clients have already tried to stop the behavior before starting therapy. The difference here is you’re not doing it alone. We’ll explore what’s driving the urges, create accountability, and build real tools to make lasting change possible.
