Hello. I’m a Certified Sex Addiction Specialist (CSAT-S) and the Clinical Director of Foundry Clinical Group. My specialization is treating sex and love addiction—helping sex addicts and their partners complete the recovery and repair process. At Foundry, I work with both individuals and couples. I am also a primary therapist and lecturer for the 5-Day IOP at Foundry (Intensive Outpatient Program) for sex addiction.
My therapeutic style is engaging and directive. Out therapy focus on practical solutions and direct experimentation with new ways of living, behaving, and communicating. In addition to initial crisis-management and stabilization, sex addiction treatment must also create a safe space for unexplored emotions and unexpressed pain.
