Therapy for Pornography and Sex Addiction | Virtual in New Jersey, South Carolina, and Florida
Your relationship with pornography or sex doesn't have to feel out of control before it's worth addressing.
When something doesn't match who you want to be, that gap is worth working on.
What Brings People Here
This is one of the hardest things for men to talk about. That's exactly why it's worth talking about.
Most men who reach out here have never said any of this out loud before, not to a partner, not to a friend, not to anyone. There's a particular kind of isolation that comes with carrying something you're convinced makes you look weak, out of control, or broken if anyone found out. That isolation usually does more damage than the behavior itself.
This work isn't about cataloguing what you've done or forcing you to justify it. It's about understanding what it's actually doing for you, what it's costing you, and building something different, without the shame running the whole conversation.
-
The secrecy is often heavier than the behavior itself. This is a place where you don't have to manage how it looks or worry about being judged for it.
-
You don't need a clear diagnosis or a certain threshold crossed to want to understand this better. If it's taking up more space in your life than you want it to, that's enough of a reason to look at it.
-
A lot of guys describe a real gap between their values and this behavior, guilt, self-judgment, a sense of being at odds with themselves. This work goes directly at that gap.
-
Whether a partner knows or doesn't, this often shows up in relationships, trust, intimacy, honesty. This work can include that impact directly, at whatever pace makes sense.
-
Willpower alone rarely holds here. This work looks at what's actually driving it, not just the behavior on the surface.
Most people wait longer than they need to.
01.
The shame is doing more damage than the behavior
Most men carry this quietly for years, convinced that saying it out loud would confirm something is wrong with them. Usually it's the opposite: the isolation, shame and guilt are what wears people down.
02.
Willpower hasn't been the missing piece
If you've white-knuckled your way through periods of stopping, only to find it creeping back under stress or boredom, that's not a discipline problem. It's a sign there's something underneath it that hasn't been addressed directly.
03.
It's changed how you see yourself
For a lot of men, this stops being about the behavior itself and starts being about what it means, about self-control, about character, about whether they can trust themselves. That story is usually worth examining as closely as the behavior.
This doesn't have to be something you've hit a breaking point over. It's something worth understanding, whatever stage you're at with it, without the conversation starting from shame.

Escalation Over Time
What started as occasional often becomes more frequent, or more extreme, without much conscious decision-making involved. This work looks at that trajectory directly, and what actually interrupts it rather than just monitoring it.

I work with men because I believe the work they do in therapy ripples outward, into their families, their relationships, their work.
I am a psychotherapist licensed in New Jersey, South Carolina, and Florida who takes a holistic, results driven approach to mental, emotional, and behavioral health. I specialize in working with men from adolescence through adulthood who are navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, performance pressure, and life transitions. My clinical work is grounded in real world experience and an ability to connect with people from all backgrounds.
With over a decade of clinical experience, I tailor care to the individual rather than applying one size fits all solutions. I support men facing complex challenges including anxiety, depression, compulsive behavior patterns, athletic and sports performance concerns, men's issues, and executive level stress. The goal is practical change, sustained growth, and measurable improvement in daily functioning.
My style is compassionate, direct, and solution focused. I help clients cut through noise, address what is actually holding them back, and take ownership of their progress. The work is collaborative, focused, and designed to help clients build momentum toward the life they want, not just talk about it.
The first session is a conversation.
Step One
The First Call
A free 15-minute consultation. You tell me what's going on. We figure out together whether working together makes sense.
Step Two
The First Session
We go deeper. I want to understand what's actually happening, not just the presenting issue, but the context around it.
Step Three
The Ongoing work
Sessions are typically weekly. The work is collaborative and focused. Most men notice meaningful shifts within the first few weeks.
A Collaborative Approach to Meaningful Change
Questions
Things People usually want to know before they reach out.
-
No. A lot of people I work with have never been diagnosed with anything. If anxiety is affecting your daily life, your relationships, or how you feel about yourself, that's enough of a reason to start.
-
Stress usually has a clear source; a deadline, a conflict, a big decision. Anxiety tends to persist even when the stressor is gone, or attach itself to new things before the old ones have settled. In practice, both are worth working on and the approach is similar.
-
That's worth paying attention to. Anxiety doesn't always present as worry. Feeling overwhelmed, unable to wind down, or like you're always slightly behind are all common ways it shows up.
-
Therapy is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety, with or without medication. The research on this is clear. For a lot of people, the tools built in therapy produce more durable change than medication alone.
-
It depends on what you're dealing with. Some people do focused work over 8 to 12 weeks and see real change. Others work longer on deeper patterns. I'll give you my honest read on what I think makes sense for your situation.
-
Yes, with the standard legal exceptions. Everything else stays between us.
