Addictions can be so difficult to manage and come out of nowhere. When we work together, we will gently learn the core of the addictive distress that you are experiencing. As I get to know you, we may find that some of the distress is rooted in early childhood trauma and attachment wounding. We will embrace all parts of yourself and learn about the challenging experiences you may have grown up with that manifested into the distress you feel today. Addictions can be a messenger, an alarm telling you that it is time to heal experiences from earlier in life. In our work together, we'll use EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts to help you get to where you wish to be.

If you’re struggling with addiction or unwanted habits, you might feel like you’ve tried everything. Then men I work with are often successful in other areas of their life, and so they're frustrated that their discipline and will power isn’t enough to change their behaviors. As an experienced addiction therapist and coach, I understand the neuroscience of addiction and the strategies necessary for you to find freedom from unwanted behaviors. Whether it’s pornography, sex, technology, gambling, or workaholism, there is hope. In our sessions, we will create a personalized plan to help you form new patterns, heal from your shame, and experience the breakthroughs you were destined for.

I offer a support group based on The Genesis Process for Relapse Prevention of Addictive/ Compulsive Behavior's by Michael Dye and Patricia Fancher, PhD.

The support group provides an opportunity for participants to discuss application of Genesis Process skills in daily life.

I've had a 40 year career at the Department of Veteran's Affairs working in Mental Health units. Many of those patients had a primary problem with Substance Abuse. I have completed substance abuse assessments, facilitated outpatient and inpatient therapy groups for substance abusers, and extensively worked with their families. I have a deep understanding of the issues surrounding substance abuse and am aware of the community resources required to fully treat substance abuse. Addictions can also include gambling, food, work, and sex. Often we get one under control and another one emerges. I am here to help.

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.
