If you’re struggling with unhealthy habits or addictive behaviors, in some way it’s working for you. After all, they provide relief from stress and pain. But, if you’re reading this you also know that they aren’t a long-term solution. It’s common for successful men like yourself to use over-working, pornography, alcohol, technology, and emotional eating to cope with the stressful demands of life. As a Certified EMDR therapist, I won’t give you band-aid approaches to manage your stress or make you quit these behaviors. But if you’re actually ready for a change, I can help. Like an emotional surgeon, I'll help you identify the sources of your stress and pain, and heal them at the source.

In addiction counseling, my approach focuses on a holistic and client-centered perspective, emphasizing personal empowerment and long-term recovery. I believe in addressing addiction as a complex interplay of psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual factors. I work with clients to get to the root cause of their addiction, identity triggers, and develop strategies for change. Utilizing cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices, I assist clients in developing self -awareness, building healthy skills, and cultivating ways to express the impact.

Helping clients to identify what they are seeking from and or getting out of their addiction is one of the main goals in my practice. Once clients are able to identify this they can better understand the motivation behind continuing to use. The next step is to help clients to create a "new life" or version of themselves that allows for more balance and enjoyment.

Pornography is one of the most addictive substances on the planet. Like marijuana it is a gateway activity leading to all kinds of destructive sexual habits. Like cocaine, pornography is itself addictive and destructive to your brain, to your relationships, and to your spirit. I am passionate about helping teenage and adult men find freedom from the guilt, shame, and compulsion of pornography viewing. Initially, it may seem impossible to imagine a life free from pornography, but it is possible and the rewards are incredible.

Addiction is a mental health condition and I treat addiction by a multi-pronged process predominately from a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) model. I help my clients understand the reasons they use a substance or engage in an addictive behavior, teach them skills regulate their emotions and tolerance distress that might otherwise lead them to engage in their addiction, and address any underlying issues that contribute to their addiction. I also help clients with with concerns about their substance use or compulsive behavior to avoid developing addictions.

I provide clients with a thorough and sympathetic approach to addressing drug use difficulties in my capacity as an addictions counselor. I offer individualized therapy regimens that take into account each person's particular needs, drawing on years of expertise. I assist clients in achieving long-lasting recovery by utilizing strategies that are supported by research and a welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere. By providing convenience and anonymity through online therapy, I make getting treatment easy and pleasant. Working together, we create a future free from addiction that gives you the power to take back control of your life.

I have worked with addictions for most of my career. Whether this is for you or a loved one, I would love the opportunity to help you. If you are early in your sobriety I will help guide you through this experience and keep you focused on what is safest and healthiest for you. If you have some sobriety under your belt, I will help you maintain your new healthy lifestyle to keep you on track. I am excited to help you take care of yourself.
