98% of men have looked at pornography and many of those men are Christians. Pornography addiction exists in secret and in shame. Many men struggle to end their use of pornography and they may become addicted.

In Christian life, the goal is to become more real; more fully all you were created to be in relationship to God and to other people. I will help you access all that is available to you in the Christian faith that can help you in your journey and relationships. Whether you struggle with faith itself, trauma, relational conflict, or other life issues, I provide a safe environment for you to struggle and be authentic without fear of judgement.

Seeking support can be feel vulnerable, life can feel like there's no catching a break at times- I get it! But rest assured God did not intend we go through battles and challenges alone.

We will look at scripture for reference and offer insights into areas of growth, barriers and identify challnges to growth and change. I also integrate evidence based interventions that enrich our work as an integrative approach. Call or email today to get started.
