I am an absolute expert and use my decades of experience in this issue to have my clients improve faster and more reliably.
I work with clients to create lasting change, faster improvements towards self management, improved mood, and a reduced recidivism.
I conduct psychosexual evaluations for clients to show court their risk can be managed in the community, rather than managed by incarceration.
I have experience with program development, clinical assistance to other agencies, complex case consultation, and clinical supervision of other sexual behavior experts.
I developed and oversaw a psychiatric outpatient sex addiction, deviance and sex offender program for County Of Rockland. We used “Good Lives Model”, and a culturally informed perspective that took into account the disorder and the culture that enabled it.
Beware a clinician saying they will treat these behaviors with “couples work”; this is an individual behavior, not a couples behavior.

Why work with me:
I have over thirty thousand hours of providing direct face to face therapy to persons who acted these behaviors out.
I have been skillfully treating people with sexual offenses and addiction for the past 23+ years, putting me in the absolute forefront of specialists in this field.
I have completed hundreds of risk assessments on persons who broke sexual boundaries, sexual offenders, “sex addicts” and others with similar behaviors.
I have trained other licensed mental health professionals, caseworkers, law enforcement personnel, Assistant District Attorneys and others related to the investigation and treatment of child and adult inappropriate behavior, “sex addiction”, and sexual abuse.
I have provided direct treatment services to clients entirely self referred to me, clients referred by other general mental health professionals, clients sent to me by County Departments Child Protective Services, County Probation, Federal Probation, State Parole, and Family Court.
I have successfully completed reunification of adult and adolescent incest sex offenders with their families, helped couples rebuild their relationships damaged by these behaviors, and rebuilt extended family systems harmed by these behaviors.
I have, alongside client attorneys, worked with licensing boards in re-licensing a professional who acted out, by my helping create and describe the progress the client has made and why he or she should again be allowed back to fully licensed practice.
I have worked with employers to see to it that an employee learns how to reliably not act out, document this progress, and thus allow that employer to retain the skilled talent they need.
