However, I am not judgemental and have helped thousands of clients over the years with varous sexual disorders/issues. These include: gender identity, sexual dysfunction, sexual addiction, porn addiction, fetishes, BDSM issues, LGBT issues, and various other paraphilias that include exhibitionism, and voyeurism. I work closely with my clients to address the underlying thoughts/feeling/behaviors related to the mental health/sexual health issues and work towards finding resolution. I believe that by seeking treatment you have taken the first step towards feeling better. We will move at your pace and tackle change and challenges in a way that feels comfortable to you.
