We are living in the era of the Internet without a “surgeon general’s warning” on our devices to inform us of any potential negative side effects. The Internet provides us with 24-hour access to activities that lead to addictions, affairs, and cyberbullying.
The Internet provides us with 24-hour access to activities that can lead to addictions, affairs, and cyberbullying.
I understand your struggle and how your lives, relationships and families are being torn apart due to betrayal, job loss, legal issues, a lack of self-esteem, a need for immediate gratification, financial ruin, academic decline, and online safety issues. I'm here to help!
Even though an online addiction does not involve drugs or alcohol, it can be as equally destructive. Online addictions are a disease of the brain’s reward system which is easily reinforced by the immediate gratification, visuals, sounds, and wins provided by Internet 24/7. We want to help you disconnect to reconnect!
An online affair can be both emotional and physical due to the advances in technology. Communication via online text, pictures, virtual gifts, and chats can facilitate the development of an emotional affair. Physical affairs can occur with the use of porn, cybersex, and sex toys that are operated via online technology. These affairs can even escalate to offline contact. We want to help you rebuild trust and connection in your relationship after an online affair!
The Internet has created a false sense of anonymity and an ease of sharing information that has fueled cyberbullying. For an act to be considered cyberbullying, it has to be an intentional repetitive act sent on an electronic device that is meant to cause harm to another person. We want to help you reconnect to your own power so you can overcome cyberbullying!

Whether you are struggling to trust your significant other’s online activities without snooping through their phone or computer; losing the fight to your online addiction; or seeking help to make sure your child is happy and safe when they are online, you don't have to try to figure it out on your own.
I'm confident that together we can work to equip you with the necessary tools to face and overcome these challenges. It is time for a new you.
I understand no two individuals are the same, and I tailor our sessions together to address challenges unique to you. We will work together to understand the root cause of your struggles and address those issues with long-lasting strategies, helping you get closer to the life you've always wanted.
