About

Sex and pornography addiction has become one of the biggest issues of our time and in the church. As Christians we are not unaffected by this very real and consequential problem. As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) I've seen the damage that is done by addiction to the entire family and have helped many begin their journey of healing. But despite the damage that is done I've seen that healing is possible through God's grace and willingness to accept his mercy. My work is to help you connect to this process and get you through it.

I specialize in helping clients begin their journey of recovery and establish sobriety, in healing the damage in their families caused by addictive behavior, and creating lasting changes in life moving forward. Recovery is possible but you cannot go it alone. I will help get you past the crisis and discover God's healing and redemption in the midst of even the most painful circumstances.

If you have any questions about this process or how I can help please don't hesitate to reach out and connect with me or the great staff therapists we have at Pathway.
