Individuals

Adam brings years of specialized clinical experience to his consultations with adults who are struggling with:

• Compulsive or addictive behaviors
• Shame, secrecy, or internal conflict
• Emotional disconnection or numbing
• Anxiety, stress, and difficulty regulating emotions
• Relationship strain related to trust, intimacy, or honesty

Many clients come to Adam after realizing that insight alone hasn’t been enough. Through a structured clinical screening, he helps identify what type of therapeutic approach will best interrupt old patterns and help you develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

For couples

Adam understands the deep complexities couples face when navigating the impact of addiction, betrayal, emotional distance, or chronic conflict. He provides expert guidance for couples who are:

• Struggling to rebuild trust after secrecy, infidelity, or addiction
• Caught in cycles of reactivity, withdrawal, or unresolved resentment
• Experiencing emotional or physical disconnection
• Wanting clearer communication and healthier boundaries

During an initial consultation, Adam helps couples slow down reactive patterns and understand how each partner’s nervous system and coping strategies interact. He then connects the couple with a clinician trained in structured, trauma-informed relationship repair to begin rebuilding safety and honesty.

Addiction & Compulsive Behavior

Adam’s clinical background is heavily specialized in working with individuals impacted by substance use and behavioral addictions, including sexual compulsivity. His assessments are grounded in evidence-based addiction treatment and trauma-informed care.

Clients often seek Adam’s guidance when they want to:

• Break cycles of relapse or compulsive behavior
• Address underlying trauma, shame, or emotional avoidance
• Build sustainable recovery rooted in honesty and accountability
• Repair the impact of addiction on relationships and self-trust

Adam uses his deep understanding of structured recovery frameworks and emotional work to ensure clients are placed with a therapist who can support long-term change, not just short-term control.
