If you feel alone in your marriage or as if your soulmate has become distant and disconnected, know that you don’t have to stay in this place. Many things can create distance — substance abuse, pornography, infidelity, or emotional withdrawal — all of which impact communication and intimacy. No matter how you got here, there is hope. Healing is possible, and your marriage can be restored to a new, vibrant connection filled with trust, love, and renewed closeness. With time and intentional effort, you and your spouse can rediscover the deep bond you once shared.
This is a closed men’s group of people struggling with multiple types of addiction, including porn, sex, food, alcohol, gaming and other substances, and men’s issues.

When people seek my help, it’s because they are feeling stuck in one or more areas of life, anxiety, addiction, (including porn, gaming and food addiction), relational, trauma and betrayal or career problems. They are looking for someone who has also experienced pain loss and struggle, not just book knowledge, and who can help them find their break through. They want to move on into a new and beautiful life, but need some care and guidance.

My two greatest passions are working with those who are wanting to live out their Christian faith in a way that is honoring to God and to walk with individuals to discover real and life-changing hope. Clients that I work well with want to acknowledge their strengths and weaknesses while seeking to grow in their fellowship with God. It is hard to reconcile that life is hard and God is good. Whether it is dealing with relational issues, depression, anxiety, or addictions, if you desire to live life in a way that is honoring God with authenticity, then connect with me.
This is a group for men only who are struggling with addictions, relationships, Godly identity and masculinity. The Stampede uses the Buffalo as a metaphor of "Facing Life's Storms Together." As men we need vertical nd horizontal relationships and fellowship. We meet every week and listen, discuss and are accountable to each other for our safety, recovery, sobriety and mental health. Come by and check it out! Recovery is a contact sport and it needs to be done together.

When a new client first walks through my office door, one of the initial things I tell them is that by seeking help they have already solved a good portion of their issue. The fact that you have enough courage, strength, humility and self awareness to seek help is a great place to start. It has been an honor for more than 20 years to serve couples and individuals who are struggling with infidelity, sex addiction, substance addiction, intimacy anorexia and intimacy issues. I have also helped men with masculinity issues, intimacy issues and understanding their purpose in life, relationships and community.
Addictions and addictive behaviors can be crippling to those directly involved and those who love them. Getting out of an addictive behavior can be just as difficult as quitting a drug, but it's true: the opposite of addiction is connection. Freedom/Intimacy Anorexia Groups make it possible not to take on these changes alone. These phone groups are structured support groups using Doug Weiss's workbooks (e.g., "101 Freedom Exercises," etc) to help move members forward in their processes of recovery and growth from sexual addiction, intimacy anorexia, or both. Reach out about meeting times and costs!

So you're looking for a change - let's get started! You might be stuck, perhaps held back by the past, not sure how to live in the present, or uncertain about moving into the future. If that's you, it's a good time for some counseling. I am a man of faith, a motorcycle rider, a runner, a reader, and one or two other things outside of counseling, just in case we still haven't connected. In counseling and support groups, I’ve focused my time helping people face addictions, trauma, and all the relationships in between. I often rely on the AASAT addiction training, EMDR for trauma, and EFT for couples.

My passion is to help people rebuild their relationship with God; to thrive in sobriety. I have extensive experience with individuals that struggle with addictive and compulsive behaviors such as: sex, pornography, drugs, alcohol, codependent relationships, etc. Over the past few years, I obtained more specialized education to specifically assist with sex, pornography and lust addiction through the work of Dr. Patrick Carnes Ph.D; a pioneer in the field of sex addiction. His work combined with a method to heal relational/attachment wounds, called "IFS", is the best strategy that I have found for recovery.

Sexual Addiction Support Groups
When should someone seek treatment for sex addiction?
People should seek treatment for sex addiction if they cannot control their sexual thoughts or behaviours to the point that it disrupts their ability to function in daily life, for example by threatening their finances, career, or relationships. This may include spending an excessive amount of time obsessing over sex, planning sex, watching pornography, or masturbating, as well as consistently engaging in risky sexual activities, using sex to escape distressing feelings, or attempting yet failing to control sexual behavior.
What are the most common treatment options for sex addiction?
Psychotherapy is the most common treatment for sex addiction; therapy helps patients better understand their compulsive thoughts and behaviors and develop strategies to manage their desires. Therapy may be supplemented by medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-androgens, and the alcohol and substance use medication Naltrexone, as well as support groups, such as 12-step programs.
How long does therapy take for sex addiction?
Recovering from compulsive behavior takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but research suggests 12 therapy sessions may be enough to see change. Treatment for sexual compulsions requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers and developing coping skills, and potential lifestyle changes such as cutting out alcohol or drugs.
What if sex addiction is left untreated?
Compulsive sexual behavior can have serious repercussions if left unaddressed. For example, if sexual obsessions consume the vast majority of a person’s time, they may lose their job. If they can’t stop paying for sex, their finances may suffer. If they’re dishonest in their relationships, their partner may leave them. If they consistently feel shame, they may struggle with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Therapy can help people develop the tools to manage sexual thoughts and behaviors that feel uncontrollable.
