Anxiety & addiction counseling

Life hits pretty hard sometimes. Maybe you are feeling stressed out, burned out, or worried all the time. Have you been wondering how much more of “this” you can take?  

It is time to stop isolating yourself because showing up here, you have found someone who understands (I have been there too) and I'm ready to help you navigate the rough waters. I frequently work with adults experiencing:

• Procrastination and concentration problems
• Anger and frustration
• Chronic overthinkers
• Substance use (alcohol & other drugs)
• Behavior addictions (including pornography & gambling)
• Anxiousness and constant worry
• Depression and low energy
• Physical recovery from injury
• Life transitions, fatherhood, or relationship stress

While I specialize in working with men, I also work with women who want a structured, skills-based approach.

My work is grounded in:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Mindfulness-based strategies
• 12 Step Recovery

Sessions focus on real tools, accountability, emotional intelligence, and measurable progress—not endless talking in circles.

Sex addiction goes beyond the physical act of sex and can impact various areas of an individual’s life. This fear of not being accepted encourages many people towards a life of secrecy. One of which will become very lonely and only harm you and others you deeply care about. 

There are resources that have made it possible to diagnose individuals with sex addiction and this has become a more common disorder. A person who enjoys having sex is not the definition of a sex addict. Rather, sexual addiction can manifest itself in compulsive behaviors such as feeling the urge to constantly surround oneself in sexually stimulating situations. 

A person may be struggling with sex addiction if they show multiple of these symptoms: 

• Obsessive sexual thoughts and fantasies
• Tendencies of having compulsive relations with multiple sex partners
• Lying to cover suspicious behaviors
• Preoccupation with sex, allowing it to interfere with daily schedules, productivity, work ethic, etc. in a careless manner
• Inability to prevent these behaviors from becoming a pattern
• Endangering others due to sexual behavior
• Feeling shame and guilt from sexual behaviors
