Testimonials
"I really enjoyed the course. I found the tools that you provided most useful with all my patients and every time I use them.
I appreciated [how the content] dovetails with Alex Katehakis’ Sex Addiction As Affect Dysregulation which I’m currently finishing, and the concept of the therapist being in Self in Internal Family Systems (IFS). I love it when everything converges."
-- Gord McCauley, MD, CSAT
I thoroughly enjoyed the new approach/mindset around Female Sex and Love Addiction. It felt safe, validating, humbling and practical/applicable.
--Jade Seabrook, MA, RCC, BRI
My expectations of learning much about current methods and personal experiences you would share to help female sex addicts in therapy were met and exceeded! So many of your power points were pieces I immediately applied and want to learn more about! I picked up several books you mentioned and look forward to reading and incorporating their ideas.
I feel more relaxed about my therapy method being helpful and that I have some good ideas to blend with yours to use successfully. A Zoom course is super helpful: 90% as good as being in the room with all of the students and the instructor, yay! And it was more diverse, fun, and helpful than I could have imagined!
--Denise Quirk, MA
I was honestly tickled pink with all the handouts! They were all so thoroughly constructed and purpose-built. I'm not sure I expected tools, but I am so grateful for them!
--Alexandra Martin MS, NCC, LPCA, ASAT
INSTRUCTOR
Hello! I'm an intimacy coach and psychotherapist from Seattle with twenty-eight years of experience as a therapist and social worker in a variety of settings from community mental health and hospitals to private clinical practice.
Since 2006, I have dedicated my practice to helping individuals, groups and couples in recovery from love, sex and relationship addictions, with a special focus on women and intimacy. I conduct trainings on sexual ethics for professionals, and am an experienced retreat and conference speaker.
After publishing my own recovery story titled Naked in Public: A Memoir of Recovery from Sex Addiction and Other Temporary Insanities, requests for further female-informed clinical resources for women inspired me to create this online program.
My goal is to reach like-minded helping professionals across the world who want to offer the best possible female-informed care to this extraordinary population.
I hope you'll join me!
