Have you been struggling with the same problems, thoughts, or feelings for weeks, months, or even years and can't seem to get them under control? Are your intimate, social, and work relationships being affected by reoccurring problems and thoughts? It's very frustrating when your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are not in line with your values and who you want to be. You know that if you could just learn to let go of the past and focus on the present, then your life and relationships will improve, but you just don't know how. Is there hope?
I'm an anxiety, relationship, and addiction specialist. Sex and porn are often main areas of focus for those seeking relief from problems or addictions. As we work together you will start finding hope for a better future. More importantly you will start living the type of life that you've envisioned for yourself and your relationships for so long.
I work with clients and couples dealing with reoccurring problems of all kinds such as pornography, sexual issues, self-harming, codependency, poor communication, money issues, anxiety, etc. I will be with you every step of the way through therapy as we work together to improve yourself, your relationships, and discover the better days that lie ahead.

I mainly use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with clients struggling with anxiety as well as reoccurring problems such as unwanted pornography use which affects relationships. I have had very positive feedback and heard repeatedly from clients how much more hope they have even after just 1 session. It is for that reason I decided to write a book on how to overcome porn and am half way finished.

I often use ACT therapy in my sessions because of the positive results I've seen with past clients and it feels more natural. Especially with those that struggle with anxiety, addictions, and trauma. It's more of a long-term solution approach rather than a band-aid approach. When clients with trauma seem to be really stuck and act therapy isn't helping as much then I turn to EMDR.
