About My Clients
What if intrusive thoughts didn’t have so much control over your decisions? Instead of keeping them secret and unaddressed, you could learn how to handle them calmly when they show up. Many people who work with me are dealing with social anxiety and "porn addiction" (more accurately called compulsive porn use), and they're often surprised to learn that their challenges are very manageable—just with the right direction and practice.
My Background and Approach
Stressful thoughts, feelings, and urges are easy to give in to. My approach teaches you how to react to them with awareness, not mindlessly and automatically. “A thought can stay just a thought.” Many people I work with describe our sessions as simple, tangible, and eye-opening, and they also notice that their attitudes and behaviors shift along the way. Our sessions will likely focus on two ideas: 1) Unwanted thoughts and feelings are brain signals and not commands we have to follow, and 2) We can train ourselves to respond to social anxiety and sexual urges in healthier ways through practice. Together, we’ll identify the patterns that hold you back and work on specific skills that help you respond in ways that better meet your needs. And with this insight, you can decide how to apply these skills outside of sessions.
