I offer counseling services to individuals with addictions and substance abuse problems, and to those who love them. Whether alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, or another variety, addiction usually begins as an effort to self-medicate. The person feels relief after partaking, so the desire to use the method again becomes stronger until it becomes an addiction. I individualize plans to tailor to your needs and offer evidence-based solutions to help you regain control of your life. In addition, I am a U.S. Department of Transporation Services Substance Abuse Professional which means that I work with commercial transportation workers who have tested positive for a substance while on the job. Call today to talk about your needs.

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.

Addictions steal people’s lives and break apart families. An addiction can be described as any compulsive and habitual behavior that limits your freedom. This includes alcoholism, substance abuse and dependency, drug abuse, compulsive gambling, pornography and sexual addiction, and others. Addictions have several warning signs, such as increased secrecy, withdrawing from family/friends, fatigue, failure to meet responsibilities, declining health, defensiveness, mood shifts, and demanding more privacy. The addictive cycle is hard to stop, but it can but it can be broken. As professional counselors we can help you break the chains of addiction!

Sexual addiction is difficult to overcome because the addict believes she / he is in control of the addiction. Unfortunately, when the 'urge' hits, the individual is overwhelmed by the need to satisfy the craving for a sexual 'fix'. Guilt, remorse, and shame is a part of the unending cycle. At Christ Centered Counseling clients are taught biblical principles that assist them with overcoming their sexual addiction.

From personal experience, I have a good idea of how an addiction can cause problems in many areas of a person's life - work, school, family, friends, legal, etc. And I know how difficult it can be to stop an addictive habit, whether it is an addiction to substances, or an "addiction" to a particular type of behavior. Meet with me and see if you agree that I know what I'm talking about and have some good ideas about what you might do to change your habits.
