Men's Issues & Sex Addiction
Men’s Issues
Men are experiencing unprecedented feelings of not knowing where to fit in society, how to launch, why they’re depressed or angry, and why they can’t get our of their own way for success. I join forces with these men, leveraging my training and experience to help clarify their past, get disciplined in the present, and forge a bright future.
Sex Addiction Recovery
I also specialize in combining CBT and a task-performative model for sex addiction recovery with adult individuals.
Treatment for sex addiction is difficult and entails more than just restraint of desire. Understanding the underlying psychological or emotional needs that support the addiction is required. My approach includes a thorough assessment, customized treatment, counseling, family support, encouraging support group involvement, and a focus on long-term recovery. By focusing on the whole person rather than just the addiction, my treatment promotes a compassionate attitude that leads the client towards a healthy life. Continuous aftercare and relapse prevention strategies are also necessary for maintaining improvement.
If you or someone you love struggles with unwanted sexual behaviors or thoughts, connect with me today to get your questions answered.

Anxiety and Depression
I specialize in CBT for anxiety and depression with adult individuals residing in Arizona.
Depression and anxiety are complex emotional conditions that can impact our lives in various ways. Anxiety is often a symptom of underlying fear, while depression can steal our drive and vitality.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a successful treatment strategy for these disorders, focusing on understanding how emotions and thoughts affect actions and, in fact, our entire lives. CBT helps individuals understand how their emotions and thoughts affect their actions, strengthen emotional control, question harmful cognitive distortions, and establish coping mechanisms.
By working together, we develop individualized strategies to tackle the root causes of anxiety and depression, enabling long-term solutions that support overall well-being. You can gain control over your emotions and behaviors, and thrive in the midst of hardship.

Family Counseling
Viscous cycles of miscommunication and misunderstanding are painful for couples and families. Spouses may experience loss of trust and closeness. Parents may feel at a complete loss in understanding their child’s behavior. Families often reach the end of their rope when difficulties seem not to go away but just get worse no matter what they try.
This is where an experienced and trained family therapist can help.
I have helped families improve communication, explore painful situations, increase understanding of one another, and take critical steps toward closeness.
Family therapy can feel scary and big emotions can happen, yes, but families can often experience a level of adventure and excitement they did not expect from therapy, especially as they notice family life improving as a result.

- Two Specialized Approaches -
Faith Integration
I specialize in the ability to integrate therapy with traditional, historic Christianity.
“Faith” is often misunderstood. Faith is a way of life that guides one’s thoughts and behavior and is historically associated with a particular religion. Many people nowadays experience a “meaning crisis,” feeling cut off from their goals and principles in the midst of constant distractions and upsidedown values in society.
With faith integrated into therapy, an individual’s beliefs, values, and habits are clarified and deepened via a personalized treatment method that prioritizes faith. We work together to explore your values, incorporate them into therapy and daily life, and resolve conflicts between beliefs and the present.
This holistic approach of “meaning discovery” can result in a more peaceful life. It resonates with clients looking for congruence within themselves and with the world. It resonates with clients seeking to renew their place in the cosmic story greater than themselves, the truth of healing in the Lord Jesus Christ expressed in Holy Scripture.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Many clients request CBT, having heard that it is among the most researched and time-tested methods of therapy available.
In short, CBT teaches how our thoughts shape our inner worlds, external behaviors, and moods. It is geared to detect and then upgrade negative core beliefs, with which we all struggle from time to time, or chronically since childhood.
CBT is a practical, efficient, and highly-personalized form of therapy proven effective to treat anxiety and depression. It is also fully compatible with a Christian worldview with strong links to the traditional psychotherapy of the historic Christian Church.
I have personally benefited from CBT and have advanced training from the Beck Institute in its theories and methods. Contact me today to get started with your CBT sessions.
