Specialties
For the past 20+ years I've been helping couples rebuild their bond in the aftermath of affairs, sexual addiction, and other relationship injuries. I also help individuals heal from pornography addiction, sexual addiction, and betrayal trauma.
I have specialized training working with couples (Emotionally Focused Therapy) along with advanced training in treating sexual addictions and betrayal trauma.
I am the host of the Illuminate Podcast and also write an online weekly relationship question/answer column.
I am the co-author of the book "Love You, Hate the Porn: Healing a Relationship Damaged by Virtual Infidelity", with Dr. Mark Chamberlain. I also recorded the 6-part series "Strengthening Recovery Through Strengthening Marriage: Healing from Pornography Addiction" with Dr. Kevin Skinner. I also was featured as a guest expert in the documentary "The Heart of the Matter".
I created the Trust Building Bootcamp, which is a 12-week online course to help individuals repair broken trust from any type of serious betrayal.
I have a masters degree in marriage and family therapy from Auburn University and a bachelors degree from Brigham Young University in communications studies. I've been married for 24+ years and we are the parents of four children.
History
Established in 2006.
I moved to St. George in July 2006 to open a private practice, a group practice, and a group therapy program to help couples heal from the impact of sexual addiction and betrayal trauma. Prior to opening my private practice, I worked in rural behavioral health in a small community in Northeastern Arizona.
