My purpose is to provide a path to hope, healing, and happiness.
I am licensed in Arizona with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with sex addiction, relationship issues, betrayal trauma, infidelity, abuse, intimacy-related issues, and unhealthy communication styles. Other areas include self-esteem, motivation, and procrastination.
I create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can truly feel heard, understood, and accepted. Counseling is a collaborative process where I offer knowledge, insights, and skills grounded in my training as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. Change doesn't come without discomfort. In accordance with this, I challenge my clients to embrace discomfort and offer opportunities to do so.
I will bring my expertise, knowledge, love, and compassion. You bring your vulnerability, determination, and curiosity to learn. Together, we can move you along the path to true happiness and healing.
Additional areas of focus: Attachment issues, Codependency, Communication problems, Control issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Infidelity, Men's issues, Post-traumatic stress, Process addiction (porn, exercise, gambling), Sex addiction, Sexuality

Been working with Jacob Pehrson for a few weeks now and feel he is patient, passionate to help, and exceeds my expectations from conventional ideas around therapy.
