I am a Christian counselor/coach and I am passionate about helping men experience freedom from compulsive behaviors and, as a result, a deeper connection with God, themselves, and others. I specialize in helping men struggling with addictive and compulsive behaviors like pornography, sex, drugs, alcohol, food, work, video games, relationships, etc.
After more than 20 years of experience, I have found that true lasting healing does not happen in isolation. Weekly recovery groups provide the accountability, honesty, and brotherhood required for lasting transformation. That is why I now fully focus on the power of group work.

You may not be able to say exactly what it is, but you know there is something is wrong. You work hard to do the right things, but there is a persistent feeling of dissatisfaction. Do you only exist to help others? You take on extra assignments at work even if you’re already overwhelmed. You’re always the one being asked for favors and advice. Everyone relies on you to keep everything running smoothly, and you do it all. But lately, you’ve begun to wonder what it’s all for. You want so desperately to take a moment to figure out what you want, but so many people are counting on you, and you can’t let them down.

I strongly believe you are the expert of your life. However at times life itself gets in the way and we tend to only see what is missing, the half empty glass. Then, we begin to doubt ourselves and with time without attending to ourselves some of the feelings can be: feeling overwhelmed, burnout, anxious, depressed, worried, body pain for no reason to name a few.
