Sexuality issues
If you or a loved one struggle with any of these difficulties, I can help give you the tools and insight you need to move forward with greater relief, clarity and control.
Sexual Identity Distress or Confusion: When people feel strong and powerful desires for members of the same sex, it can really be tough and it can really be lonely. But many people have feelings like this and are seeking a balanced and politically neutral counseling approach that doesn’t judge them or fix them or pressure them to come out. Fortunately, I have developed a unique, empirically-grounded and ethical approach that has helped hundreds of people like you gain clarity and relief. I have found that many people with same-sex attractions simply need access to accurate information. If this is your story, I encourage you to reach out and schedule a free consultation. Please note. I am neither a “gay-affirming” therapist or a “conversion and/or reparative and/or reintegrative” therapist. I do not use behavioral therapy for these issues, nor do I try to “change, rewire or eliminate” people’s same-sex feelings.
Sexual-Religious Conflict: When parts of our sexual actions, fantasies or urges seem to conflict with other parts of our Self, family or culture, we may need professional input to get quick clarity and relief from the anxiety, depression and isolation that this can cause.
Distress around Specific Sexual Fantasies or Urges: If you have recurring fantasies and urges involving the same-gender, opposite-gender, specific body parts or unusual objects and situations, I can help you gain more understanding and control over these feelings, and often in the first few sessions.
Sex/Porn/Love Addictions: People with sex-addictions often have questions: “Why is this happening?”. “How do I finally put a stop to this in a way that doesn’t just involve using my sheer will-power?” “What explains those times where I start to get out of control?” Understanding is the first step. Because these patterns are usually trying to mask a different type of problem entirely. .
