MAMFT, RCC-ACS, CSAT

Please note: due to the popularity of our podcast, my waitlist is currently full and closed. I do have a few consultation slots open every week, however, and would be happy to speak with you and help you identify which one of our team members may be most ideal for you to work with.

Bio

I am the co-founder of OnlyYouForever and co-host of The Marriage Podcast for Smart People.  I work with individuals dealing with infidelity, betrayal, abuse, trauma and pornography or sex addiction. Outside of work, you’ll find me playing catch with my girls, hugging my wife or in my woodworking shop. I also am heavily involved in my local church and other ministries.

My Approach

My work with you begins with taking the time to really understand your story and your challenges before collaborating with you to set some clear goals. I approach clients with a mix of psychoeducation and talk therapy, leaning heavily on family systems concepts, attachment and trauma informed treatment.

Clients typically tell me that they feel very safe working with me: I have a calm and steady presence that creates a safe working space for them to work through very challenging issues that they may have faced for a long time.

My counselling interventions and treatments are research-based and delivered out of a Christian worldview. I take an integrationist approach to my work and work hard to create a non-judgmental space for clients to work through difficult issues.
