Treatment Approach

My work integrates:

• Psychodynamic understanding of desire and relational patterns

• Attachment theory

• Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Level II) for trauma and nervous system regulation

• Structured psychoeducation

• Compassion-focused work with compulsive or preoccupying behaviors

• Behaviors seen as one Part of the Broader Self per Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Many attraction patterns are influenced by early attachment experiences and nervous system conditioning. When trauma or chronic dysregulation is present, desire may attach to intensity rather than connection. Sensorimotor techniques help address the physiological foundations of these patterns, supporting more stable relational functioning.

For clients struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors or pornography-related patterns, we focus on understanding the regulatory function these behaviors serve — and developing healthier alternatives — without collapsing the work into identity conclusions.
