Please Note: My practice is open only to new group members in 2025 & 2026. I cannot accommodate individual or couples sessions. 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.
I facilitate over a dozen Christian recovery groups. I feel strongly about the importance and benefit of group support and believe much of what we struggle with is the result of a relational dis-ease, disconnection, and dis-integration. Healing and change requires relational repair with ourselves, God, and others.
My primary goal is not years of talk therapy. Instead, I provide tools and a group environment to work through disharmony (from your shortcomings or your resentment with another's shortcomings) without self-medicating behaviors.
