I am passionate about helping those who: struggle with addictive behavior, love someone who struggles with addictive behavior, don't identify with a specific addiction but find themselves in survival mode or generally unhappy in life and relationships, or, have worked through a lot of issues but want to take things to the next level and infuse more well-being into their life. I also love working with couples facing challenges related to recovery, communication and/or boundary issues. This is particularly helpful for couples seeking recovery and repair from sexual addiction or betrayal.

Serving Maryland and New Jersey. As a Pastor for over 35 years, I can merge a spirituality with my clinical approach to therapy for those who wish it. For men who want to be free from compulsive sexual behaviors I use a blend of clinical and biblical principles and have seen many freed from decades of addiction. This is also true for marriages that have been broken due to infidelity, pornography, and sexual practices that are not agreed upon within the marriage. Working successfully to stop the unwanted behavior and develop appropriate coping skills, communication and restored trust, is very rewarding and satisfying.

Are you having trouble achieving, starting, creating, and/or maintaining your goals? Are you trying to develop more healthy, positive habits?

"Fear lives in the head. And courage lives in the heart. The job is to get from one to the other" - Louis Penny. It is inevitable that we will be wounded during the journey of life. Many of those wounds generally heal on their own. However some wounds cut deeper. They are unable to heal themselves and leave scars causing broken relationships, anxiety, addiction, insecurity, fear, and pain. Facing these wounds can be frightening and overwhelming, especially when facing them alone. Together we find the courage and strength to face and heal these wounds.
