Sexual addiction has been labeled as the greatest threat to North American churches. Sexual addiction takes many forms--pornography, prostitution, voyeurism, exhibitionism, as well as many others. Left untreated, sexual addiction always gets worse. While there are many roads that lead to sexual addiction, there is but one that leads to healing. Using the timeless truth of God's Word as well as modern evidence-based treatments, I will teach you how to break free from the power of sexual addiction and discover the abundant life that God has for you.

I try to help my clients find the internal button that will allow them to give up their dependency and have confidence in themselves. If addictions didn't bite up back they wouldn't be a problem. But, they always land us in more trouble than we originally had. If the client is open to 12 step I encourage that. If not, we can work without it. The goal is to minimize shame and maximize self-confidence.

Addiction is a complex disease that affects the functioning of the brain and body. It causes serious damage to families, relationships, communities and workplaces.

I treat addiction and co-occurring disorders as well. I treat all addictions and have over 6 years of experince in working with people who suffer from alcohol abuse, narcotic abuse, gambling addiction, Internet and porn addiction, sexual addiction, food addictions, and more. I encourage but do not use the 12-step model. I use reality therapy as a means to treat addiction because the empirical data shows it has the highest success rate. This is not a pleasant therapy for you but it works.
