I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for Washington State in private practice at Woodland Pathways Counseling. I also am a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT), and a Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist (CMAT). I have trained with Stan Tatkin, Level 1 & 2 Psychobiological Approach to Couples Counseling. I am also a Certified Attachment Focused Eye Movement Desinsitization Reprocessing Therapist (AF-EMDR).
I have worked extensively with partners of sex addicts, who have specific needs. Sexual addiction is a complex addiction but there is hope! As a trained Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, I have completed training developed by Dr. Patrick Carnes, which required attendance at multiple training modules and supervision with a CSAT Supervisor. It also requires ongoing education so that CSATs such as myself are experts in providing sexual addiction therapy. It is a rigorous process designed to help me best help you.
