​​Many people turn to porn or sexual fantasy for all sorts of reasons and at many different life stages; curiosity, pleasure, comfort, stress relief, or simply as part of a healthy sexual life. It can be a positive and enriching part of your experience.

But in today’s fast-paced, stress-filled world, it’s easy for that quick escape to become something you reach for automatically. There's little doubt that the physical high that comes with looking at porn can cut through feelings of boredom, stress, or loneliness more rapidly and “efficiently” than many other healthy pastimes. Because of that, it’s easy to lean on it as a shortcut for feeling better- and over time, that can become a habit that increases our avoidance of the things (and people) that really matter.

When this happens, it can start to feel like porn- or the search for sexual stimulation- is taking over your central focus and creating distance in your real relationships.

In our work together, we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface, without judgement, so you can understand your patterns, regain choice, and reconnect with what truly feels good and meaningful in your life
