I started my career as an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry, working and leading teams for the International Space Station and a satellite mission. Wanting to work more closely with people, I switched to business strategy consulting, traveling to Fortune 100 companies on a weekly basis for two years. While I got the chance to solve complex problems, I realized I wanted to help people solve the problems that mattered to them at a deeper level. This, coupled with my own recovery journey, is what drives me to do exceptional therapy work today.

Are you or a loved one struggling with internet porn, sex addiction, serial affairs, or compulsive masturbation? Tired of living a double life--lying to your partner, friends, family? Shame and guilt often prevent sex addicts from seeking the help they need. Partners, in turn, feel overwhelmed by shock, anger, grief, and a deep sense of betrayal upon discovering the addict's secret life.I specialize in working with sex addicts, their partners and families in a confidential treatment program free of judgment or condemnation. I firmly believe that recovery is possible for this problem.

Greetings! If you're here then you're likely looking for help, or at least curious about talking to someone about what burdens you. Know that you need not carry your burdens alone, and it would be my privilege and honor to join you on your journey. We will work together to provide you with a safe place to be fully seen and truly known. Perhaps that ignites a shred of hope within you, or dread, or maybe both! The journey towards real change may involve discomfort, but it can be life-giving. Good things are often achieved through hardship.

The typical clients I work with are like you and me, usually have successful careers, have a faith orientation, although not always, and have a tremendous longing to find, repair, or revitalize something gone wrong in themselves or in relationship with those closest. They are individuals and couples who are hurting at their core, who want more than just a quick fix, a few techniques, or merely a listening ear. They want answers, real, deep, transforming answers. They realize deep down that it is probably going to take longer than they want or expect. But, they are longing and willing to do whatever it takes to get to a better place

My practice is focused on treating sexual brokenness and addiction, trauma (relational, single event, PTSD) and marital issues, including infidelity. Many times, these three treatment areas are linked together and experience in all three leads to more comprehensive therapy. I have also worked with clients with many different presenting issues over 21 years of private practice. I believe this experience helps me address the varied needs that my clients present.

There are times in our lives when we need someone safe and objective to talk to. I believe that we have the answers within us and I strive to create a place of safety where you are free to express your hopes and desires. Many times we have themes in our life that recycle in and out. As an objective observer I can gently point those out. At times we may focus too intently on what is "wrong" or missing when we must first start where we are and make peace with who we are.

Seeking support for life's difficulties can be daunting. Partnering with others as they walk through these difficulties is one of my lifelong passions. Let's begin to investigate your own particular story and see how it can be rewritten. The most important benchmark for each session is establishing an environment of trust and openness. From there, we can work to break through barriers. My goal is to support, educate, counsel and guide you through it all.

Do you and your partner have a hard time resolving conflict? Is the struggle to connect making you feel alone and misunderstood? Or, if you're divorced, is the level of acrimony between you and your ex so intense that it feels impossible to co-parent? I help both partnered and divorced couples learn how to regulate their emotions and communicate skillfully. I also help people who struggle with sexual compulsivity and love addiction learn to manage their feelings without resorting to destructive behaviors or staying attached to unhealthy people.

Seeking out a therapist can be an intimidating venture, so I make it my priority within the first contacts to help the client feel relaxed and confident in my expertise to assist them while creating an environment of safety and trust where they can examine, experience and process their own thoughts, feelings, or anything that they deem important. As your therapist, I empathically listen while doing my best to answer any questions that may arise in therapy. This approach creates a forum where the client feels comfortable to share their struggles and helps them alleviate barriers and fosters an authentic therapeutic connection.
