Gaming Addiction creates a void that many people don't understand. The hours that are wasted, the Shame, Regret, and Exhaustion that are felt, and the lies that you tell to your friends, significant other, and yourself. For some reason, even after being worn out, your hands keep coming back to the game. Part of your soul gets trapped in the experience, and never really leaves. Escaping the prison can seem impossible. It's easy to get trapped, but it doesn't have to be your prison forever.

I work with individuals and couples in the areas of conflict, stress, anger control, PTSD, depression and anxiety, as well as marital distress and breakdown. My primary approach combines evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy, with motivational as well as spiritual approaches to change. I also work with veterans and others dealing with traumatic memories, with the assistance of my trained and certified service dog - a gentle black Labrador. I am a certified professional trauma therapist and conduct evaluations and treatment for PTSD, and a certified professional life coach, and can work remotely via Internet in for a lower fee

I have been practicing therapy for over 25 years, so I have a great deal of experience with different kinds of problems/issues, and with different types of clients. Most of the people I see are adults, but I do occasionally see teenagers and children. Many of my clients are having issues with anxiety, depression, relationships, or just the everyday challenges of living. I am a Christian and specialize in Christian counseling, but also have many clients who are not Christians. I enjoy helping people and seeing them improve their lives.

Client's often first come to see me when encountering struggles with depression, anxiety, and/or relationship problems. I have extensive experience helping children, adolescents, and adults; and am not afraid to get in the arena with you as we work through what is causing pain! It is my goal to come alongside you as we loosen the strongholds that keep you from experiencing seasons of wholehearted joy and peace once again!

I believe that emotional healing can be brought about within the framework of relationships, so in my therapy sessions I work to create a safe environment where clients can work through issues in their lives that may be hindering them from reaching their true potential.
I believe it's possible in therapy to gain insight into our deepest desires to learn and grow, and to develop successful communication skills. These skills in turn help us develop and maintain successful interpersonal relationships with others.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

As a licensed clinical psychologist and nationally certified school psychologist, I have experience working with a wide range of childhood and parenting issues. I have worked in schools, clinics, hospitals, research centers, and have also taught at the graduate-level. My approach involves first deeply understanding the multiple aspects of a person's situation and then using research-based treatments and processing to provide support. I am especially interested in helping boys and young men navigate these complicated times along with helping fathers who are interested strengthen their relationship with their children.

My focus is working with teens, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, electronics/gaming addiction, anger, trauma and loss. Often, teens, adolescents and adults who are suffering have difficulty communicating with others, which in-term affects relationships with parents, friends, partners, and other important individuals. Teens and adolescents are also prone to depression and anxiety at this developmental stage, causing low self-esteem, isolating themselves from friends/family, angry/violent outbursts and significant mood swings. This may be difficult to endure alone, and that's where I come in.

Pornography addiction can significantly impact your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal struggles in your life and committed relationships that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfan or Social Media is hard to quit even with all your willpower and promise to quit for the sake of your relationship.
