FAQs

This is a relatively personal decision. They both have a place in recovery and provide support in different ways. The services page can give more information on the specific work I do whether in groups or individual. If you are here seeking help for the first time there could be mixed thoughts regarding groups. On one hand, group community can be a place of encouragement as you hear of others who are going through similar experiences and you don’t have to feel alone. On the other hand, the idea of a group could feel extremely overwhelming as you have never shared your secrets with anyone let alone a group of other men. With the latter you may want to start with individual therapy. In addition, if you are needing more focused attention to work through pressing issues or traumas, individual therapy could be a great place to start. I have clients who have started with one and not the other and later switched based on their needs. I have had clients who have done both at the same time. If you are still unsure, I am happy to talk with you to evaluate what could be a good place to start. You can contact me here to schedule a free consultation.

I have a telehealth practice seeing men and couples in California.

Individual and couple sessions are 45 minutes and I typically recommend starting therapy on a weekly basis to build momentum. As we work together we can have ongoing conversations to adjust the frequency if needed. If you have any further questions or concerns on this I would love to talk with you. You can contact me here.

Groups meet weekly for 90 minutes for a set number of weeks, depending on the group. They are billed on a monthly basis. You can find more information on the specific type of groups that might be starting on the groups page. This page is updated regularly with any new groups that are forming.

I am an out of network health care provider. Upon request I can provide you with a superbill so you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Please call your insurance company to find out more about your coverage for out of network benefits.

To schedule a session with me or join one of the groups you can schedule a free 15 minute consultation call and we can talk about what you are looking for and how I work. You can check out the services page for individual couples or groups for more information or contact me here.

Not at all. I find that Christians often desire working with a therapist who aligns with their faith and can give clear direction amid difficult circumstances. With that said, I desire to meet men and couples where they are at on their faith journey and will not force anything upon them. If you want to know more about how I work and see if we are a good fit you can schedule an initial consultation with me and I will be happy to answer any of your questions.

CSAT stands for Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. Therapists with this certification have specialized training to understand and treat pornography and sex addictions. With this specific training you can connect with someone who can meet you where you are at, is not shocked by anything you have done and will have insight with how to get you out of your repetitive cycles.

With couples, they have specific training on how to disclose secrets between you and your partner, that will set you up to have a better chance at healing. If your addiction is not yet known in your marriage this could be a vital part to your recovery and restoring of your relationship.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a type of therapy that uses bilateral stimulation to help reduce distressful memories and emotions associated with trauma and/or other negative experiences.
