I am, first and foremost, a highly trained Therapist for pornography and sexual addiction. I love to work with couples, individuals and families helping to put an anchor back into their lives. For 3 decades I have sat front row and center in thousands of peoples lives. I have found that this is a most privileged position. My goal is to give my clients proven tools to learn to have healthy intimate relationships with those individuals who are most important to them.

I am a Sexual Recovery Therapist (SRT) with specialization in sexual addictions and couples/marriages. I also work extensively with teens struggling with sexual compulsivity issues. My clients learn to replace destructive behaviors and avoidance of intimacies through healthy and meaningful interactions. As a pastor for three decades, I also have a passionate desire to assist pastors and their spouses. Pastors face some unique challenges in maintaining sexual purity and having healthy marriages. I offer them a safe, confidential, and proven place to find solutions.

I specialize in treating sexual addiction and partners of sexual addicts and Intimacy Anorexics, PTSD and trauma issues. I offer individual, marital and group counseling. I treat women that are in difficult relationships with sexual addicts and intimacy anorexics by offering behavioral techniques along with coping skills. I teach appropriate boundaries in all relationships such as partners, family members, friends and co-workers. I address low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, anger issues that interfere with their primary relationships. I also treat childhood trauma. I offer a safe supportive environment for clients to address these painful and private issues.

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) trained in IFS, I am absolutely passionate about helping those impacted by sexual integrity issues. I work with "addicted parts" using individual, couple, and group therapy modalities. I am quite aware of relational trauma that partners of sex, porn, and relationship addicts experience, and I compassionately work to guide addicted parts through isolating and shame-filled experiences. My role is to help reduce this shame and systematically get to the root of the addictive and compulsive behaviors that have led to intimacy disorder issues.

Are your past experiences or current struggles leading you to lash out, withdraw, make unwise decisions, or disrupt your relationships? Maybe it feels like no matter what you try, you just can't get it right. Life has a (not so funny) way of bringing difficulties that leave us wounded and disconnected. As our pain deepens, we develop coping strategies to numb and protect ourselves. These painful experiences and defense patterns can have long-lasting detrimental effects that deprive us of joy and meaning. However, although painful, these places of darkness can be catalysts to rewrite our story and move us towards healing.

Is pornography, cybersex, or sexual addiction impacting your life? Are you feeling alone, sexually rejected, or struggling with low desire in your relationship? Do you want more sexual and emotion intimacy? Are you concerned about your sexual identity or sexual functioning? It is common for people to encounter sexual problems, at any age. What is uncommon is for people to do something about those problems before they irreparably damage their self-esteem and relationships. Left unmanaged, anger, shame, and fear increase. The sooner you come in for help the better chance you have of growing a happy, healthy sexual life.

I specialize in spouse/partner betrayal recovery, couples recovery, as well as pornography, sexual, love and romance addiction recovery. I can help you get the life you have always wanted. Together we will customize your therapy to fit your needs. I have been trained specifically to work with people in need of this very personal help. I will support you through your journey using a gentle path process.

I help my clients find their way to more authentic and fulfilling lives. Whether it's through improving personal relationships, increasing individual self-awareness, or building upon pre-exisiting resiliency, I assist my clients in finding positive and pragmatic solutions to the relational and sexual difficulties in their lives. I tend to approach my interventions in a collaborative and humanistic way. Empathic support, unconditional acceptance and gentle challenging guide my therapeutic process. I offer support to individuals and couples and aim to enhance each client's insight, resiliency and hope.

If you struggle and remain unhappy I'm glad you'd consider letting someone help. Suffering is a serious matter. People suffer from many different and individual reasons such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addictions, or histories of abuse, neglect or trauma. Many people suffer with issues related to sexuality (being gay, lesbian, sexually-addicted, HIV+, etc.) Shame is a damaging experience for anyone (gay or straight) and needs to be addressed head on for change. There is hope. Together, we can figure out the best road ahead. Happiness matters. That is true for everyone, including you.

Hello. Thank you for reviewing my profile. Over the last 30 years I have been both a psychotherapist and a college professor teaching psychology and the neurosciences. What most of my past clients and former students have consistently said about me is that I am "authentic." I think that's a great compliment, and reflects as much on my clients and students as it does on me. I have met hundreds of wonderful people in my professional career. And despite the belief that you will learn from me, I know that I will learn just as much from you.

Just as you would gather tools, skills, and a plan before going into the unknown wilderness so should you before exploring your own internal wilderness. The desire to discover our internal parts and heal from trauma, overcome daily obstacles, reconnect with passion and purpose, and uncover hidden strengths can be as daunting as it is exciting. But where to begin? Together we can safely navigate and face any issue instead of avoiding, ignoring, or numbing them. Through multifaceted compassionate and direct therapy we’ll develop the tools, skills, and internal map to connect you to your true self and help you live more authentically.

I have worked with individuals who have struggled with trauma, addiction, and mental health struggles for the last 10 years. I have seen the damage that can occur when we attempt to carry these burdens alone. I hope to help. To support you in building connections, addressing trauma, and finding more adaptive ways to get what you want and need out of your life. As a licensed addictions counselor (LAC) and certified sex addictions therapist (CSAT), I understand how we may have come by coping mechanisms that may be hurting more than helping.

Taking a step to engage in therapy is a courageous decision. Many times, we seek therapy when we're going through difficult times, feeling uncertain, or in need of guidance. I'm here to help you on your journey that is personal to you and your healing and goals. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with licenses in Colorado, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. Additionally, I hold the title of Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and supervisor (CEDS-S). With over 14 years of experience, I've had the privilege of working with clients and their families, providing support and guidance.

I use a strengths based approach that integrates whole self wellness with an emphasis on mind, body and relationship. I help clients identify unhelpful patterning and create a vision of sexual and relational health through embodiment, presence and cognitive restructuring. I specialize in the intersection of sex, love, pleasure, relationships, identity, communication, and empowerment.

I help folks who have gone through stressful or traumatic events. Sometimes people can't stop crying or can't cry at all. I see individuals and couples who feel lost, alone, sad, not good enough, but are starting to think maybe they don't have to go this alone. I watch my clients get unstuck out of old patterns that aren't working for them anymore. And then they start to figure out life and/or relationship that they want. They start to create new habits that they chose for themselves. Fundamentally, I believe that everyone can grow and that it's never too late.
