Note: I am currently only accepting new group clients. Individual and couples sessions are not available at this time. I am a Christian counselor and my passion is helping people experience the power of real connection and break free from addictive and compulsive behaviors such as porn, sex, alcohol, drugs, food, work, video games, etc. After 20 years of providing both individual and group therapy, I have discovered that group work is the game-changer. Clients in weekly recovery groups consistently experience faster, deeper, and more lasting transformation, period. That’s why I now focus exclusively on the power of group work.

I’ve specialized in addiction recovery since 2007, training directly under Dr. Patrick Carnes and working with him on the groundbreaking Fulbright Study researching the genetic links to addiction. My work integrates cutting-edge models such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, etc. to bring together the science and soul of healing.

Johan Hari said, “The opposite of addiction is not sobriety; it’s connection.” Addiction is not just a behavioral problem, it’s a relational wound. And the path forward isn’t just more talk therapy; it’s connection that heals. If you’re tired of white-knuckling it alone, I’d love to help you join a community where you can truly heal, connect, and transform!
