If you’re reading this you may be on the brink of losing your job, or your significant other.  Maybe your relationship with pornography or your need for new sexual thrills threatens to jeopardize what you hold most dear.  Is it time to seek professional help?  Does it appear that you risk too much to keep living with the denial of “It won’t ever happen again”, or “It’ll be different this time”?

 

If you think it’s time to ask for help; if you think you’re ready to do the hard work required to make the above statements ring of truth rather then self-deception, read on and consider how I can help you.

 

My approach to treating what may amount to a sex, or porn addiction is four fold:

 

·        Planning for your abstinence from unwanted behaviors and a relapse-prevention strategy.

·        Movement toward resolution and the building of self-awareness through an exploration of your life and sexual history.

·        Discovering the role of your sexual behavior, or how it has “worked” for you.

·        The exploration of ways to enhance your current relationships through increased engagement and emotional participation.

 

If you’re ready to start rebuilding trust with your loved ones and to start living a more complete and satisfying life, contact me with your questions, or to schedule an appointment.

 

I look forward to hearing from you,
