The Sexual Health & Wellness Program
The SHAW program inspires individuals to develop emotional, physical, spiritual, and erotic intelligence while overcoming sexual dysfunction and/or problematic sexual behaviors such as sex addiction, hypersexual disorder, out of control sexual behavior, sexual impulsivity, and sexual abuse. I offer expert holistic assessment & testing, psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems therapy, groups, workshops, and intensive retreats for the recovering addict, partner/spouse, and family. I use a sex-positive approach to sex-addiction recovery fostering physical, emotional, spiritual, & erotic intelligence. |

Plant Medicine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Plant medicine has been around for thousands of years! In fact, Mother Earth gives us everything we need to heal our bodies, minds, and Spirits. For many years now, psychedelics (Bufo, Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, Ibogaine, LSD, MDMA, Ketamine, etc.), and other plant/animal medicines (kambo, rape´, chinese herbs, cannabis, etc.) are being used in combination with psychotherapy to help individuals heal on every level - physically, emotionally, spiritually. I will help you explore the various medicines, guide you as the medicine chooses you, explore the pros/cons, share research articles, and connect you with other online resources. After your ceremony is completed, integration of your experience is absolutely essential, and I will continue to be your guide throughout the entire integration process. Learn more. Plant-medicine assisted therapy is not for everyone! And that's ok!! I also offer traditional therapy without plant-medicine! |
