Sex & Porn Addiction and Compulsive Sexual Behavior
Compulsive sexual behavior and infidelity can be deeply damaging to relationships, often leading to broken trust, emotional disconnection, and, in many cases, divorce. Individuals who find themselves repeatedly seeking out pornography, online sexual encounters, or extramarital relationships—despite intentions to stop—may be struggling with a behavioral pattern that has become unmanageable.
When these behaviors begin to take precedence over meaningful connection with a partner or family, and when attempts to reduce or stop them have failed, it's often a sign that professional support is needed. Partners may discover the behavior and feel devastated, betrayed, and unsure where to turn. Seeking help at this stage is not just about stopping the behavior—it’s about understanding what’s driving it and beginning the work of genuine, long-term recovery.
I work with individuals who are ready to confront the underlying pain, shame, and trauma that often fuel these destructive cycles. Therapy offers a confidential and structured environment where healing can begin—not just for the person engaging in the behavior, but also for their relationship and family.
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I use a structured, evidence-based approach developed by Dr. Patrick Carnes, Ph.D.—a leader in the field of sexual addiction recovery. The 30-Task Model is designed to guide individuals through a comprehensive process of understanding, accountability, emotional healing, and relational repair. This model is widely regarded as the gold standard in the treatment of compulsive sexual behavior and co-occurring issues such as trauma and addiction.
If you are seeking meaningful change and long-term healing, this approach provides the clarity, support, and tools needed to move forward.
