My Approach to Helping
I remember the feelings of loneliness, isolation, and gut-wrenching shame that I experienced as I looked into my partner's eyes once again—seeing the hurt and anger that always followed her discovery of my lies and deceit.
This is the familiar story of countless men that I've had the privilege of guiding from the shadows of sexual addiction and the resultant turmoil in their relationships. As a man in recovery, I understand the courage it takes to seek change.
Sexual addiction and the accompanying compulsive sexual behaviors, including pornography, can feel like an impossible challenge. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, I've dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate these complex issues. Utilizing evidence-based addiction and trauma treatment models such as the 30 Task Model, EMDR, DNMS, CPT, PE, and CBT, I offer more than just a way out; I provide a journey toward understanding, healing, and transformation. My approach addresses the behaviors and underlying emotional traumas and patterns that fuel these actions, offering a holistic path to recovery.
If you find yourself struggling with secretive sexual behaviors, feeling trapped by shame, or uncertain about the way forward, know that you don't have to navigate this alone. Healing begins the moment you decide to reach out. At Healthy Mindsets Therapy, your treatment needs become our priority, starting with a complimentary initial consultation.
