Porn and Sex Addiction Therapist in Venice

Break the Cycle. Reconnect with Yourself. Redefine Intimacy.

In our therapy sessions, I can help you:

    •    Understand the triggers behind your compulsions

    •    Identify the pain or trauma fueling the addiction

    •    Break free from cycles of secrecy, shame, and guilt

    •    Restore trust and connection in romantic relationships

    •    Rebuild your sense of self, integrity, and regulation

    •    Create a healthy, fulfilling relationship with your sexuality

Porn and sex addiction can feel isolating, confusing, and shameful—especially when the behavior starts interfering with your relationships, self-esteem, career, or ability to experience healthy intimacy. You may have promised yourself it was the last time, only to find yourself repeating the same pattern when you’re stressed, lonely, or emotionally overwhelmed.

As a therapist specializing in porn and sex addiction, I offer a compassionate, confidential space to explore the deeper emotional and psychological roots of compulsive sexual behavior. This work isn’t about judgment—it’s about healing.

Whether you’re dealing with excessive porn use, compulsive hookups, infidelity, or fantasy preoccupation, we’ll work together to understand the underlying causes and build the tools needed for lasting recovery. If you’re in a relationship, I also offer support for partners impacted by betrayal or addiction.

You are not broken. Freedom is possible—and it starts with being honest, supported, and willing to heal.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
