For your Emotional, Sexual and Spiritual Health
Life today has become so desperately hard, relationships so challenging and work so unrewarding. Given the advances in technology, connection in some ways has improved our lives and in others has led to an intimacy starved culture where the capacity for common conversation is limited. This leaves us despondent and extremely vulnerable to the intense highs offered by the distractions of everyday life—infidelity and addictions. The experience of abandonment or loss from break-up, divorce, career change, aging or death, betrayal or abuse from a partner, unhealthy relationships at home or work and addictions can lead to loneliness, sadness, anxiety and depression.
You have reached this site because you are struggling; you are either stuck in a crisis or wish to become more effective in your relationships with others. At times we all need someone to reach for help. Selecting the right person to help guide your journey through life’s difficulties is a considerable decision.
With over 35 years of experience as a psychologist, sexologist and certified sex addiction therapist and in EMDR, Dr. Winter is well qualified to help you restore and reclaim your emotional, sexual and spiritual health.
