I am the founder of The Center for Intimacy Recovery which focuses primarily on intimacy and relationships. What I have found is that without a sense of intimacy with oneself, people can’t fully experience intimacy with someone else. Our hearts are fragile, so we develop strategies to keep them safe and avoid getting hurt. Often, these strategies later become maladaptive and hold us back from achieving the connection and intimacy we are actually seeking. The Center for Intimacy Recovery helps clients to find ways to have the intimacy and connection in life that they are seeking. To gain a better understanding around healthy sexuality and treatment for compulsive and destructive sexual behaviors and the trauma created through intimate betrayal, have studied at the Modern Sex Therapy Institute where I have studied healthy sexuality. I have also studied with the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals where I became a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist.
