Sex Addiction
|
I am a certified sex addiction therapist and began my own recovery journey in the mid 1990's. My many years spent in a twelve step community sponsoring countless men inspired me to go to graduate school in 2005 to become a licensed psychotherapist. I have been working professionally for over 15 years to help individuals and couples to heal from sexual addiction and betrayal trauma and I believe my personal experience with sex addiction has helped to inform my skills in working with individuals and couples recovering from the pain of sex addiction.
I created one of the first documentaries ever made about sexual addiction, "The Courage to Love". "The film premiered at the 2014 Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health Conference in Portland, Oregon and has screened at many conferences and venues around the country. I had the honor of my lifetime being invited by my mentor and personal hero Dr. Patrick Carnes to screen the film to a group of therapists that he was training in Arizona. His book, "Out of the Shadows", was the first book ever written about sexual addiction back in 1983 and that book changed the course of my life. All these years later, I sat and watched as Dr. Carnes and a large room full of therapists watched "The Courage to Love" and I felt the immensity of the moment and as proud and grateful as humanly possible. |
