She helps her clients rebuild trust and a healthier vision for their partnership and themselves, working toward sexual, relational, and personal wellness and integrity.

Sex and porn addiction are frequently viewed through the prism of personal suffering, but it also provides a unique insight into human nature. The actions, urges, and cycles of addiction conceal a deeper awareness of our desires, NEEDS, self-limiting beliefs and behavioral patters. Sex addiction and porn addiction teaches us about the human need for pleasure, the difficulties of self-control, and the complicated interplay of isolation and connection. While addiction is damaging, it also teaches us essential things about ourselves and others. This article investigates what addiction may tell us about human nature, revealing truths that, when recognized, can lead to healing and personal progress.
