“Chris does an incredible job of blending the spiritual with emotional and the psychological in his counseling approach. He has helped me to unpack a lot of my spiritual and emotional baggage and begin to successfully walk the road of recovery. Chris speaks from a place of academic training as well as personal experience which brings an authenticity to his counseling. He does a good job of asking questions to get me to think through my experiences and feelings in a way that I never had before. My time working with Chris has improved so many areas of my life, especially in the way I relate to God and my family.” - J
Outwardly, you are successful, responsible, and respected. But inwardly, you are living a compartmentalized, exhausting double life. You are a man of faith in public and a devoted partner at home, but when you are stressed or need relief, you are pulled right back into a secret cycle of porn and unwanted behaviors.
You make promises to yourself—and to God—that this time will be different. You have your plan, your prayers, and your willpower. But then the house is empty, your brain clicks into autopilot, and your willpower completely evaporates.
I know exactly what that terrifying loss of control feels like. Years ago, I watched my wife drive away for a weekend retreat. I was determined to be "good" while she was gone. Instead, I went on autopilot, emptied a coin bank on the floor, counted out exactly 349 pennies, and drove to the store to rent a video. All my old tricks to stop myself failed. I was left waiting in stunned silence for her to come home, dreading the moment she would sit down and ask, "Well, how’d it go while I was gone?".
You likely live in visceral fear of that exact question. But the hardest part isn't just the behavior itself—it’s the invisible wall your secret is building between you and the person you love most. The energy it takes to maintain the lies and the secrecy is silently eroding your intimacy, leaving you feeling distant, numb, and terrified of what would happen if the truth was exposed
When my wife asked me that terrifying question years ago, I finally surrendered and admitted I was powerless. That honest confession didn't end my marriage; it saved it. Today, my wife and I have been in recovery together for 32 years, and I am celebrating 14 years of complete Sex Addiction (SA) sobriety.
As an Anglican Priest and an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner, I don't just tell you to "pray harder". I help you understand why your brain's protective parts keep reaching for that relief, so you can stop fighting yourself.
We will work together in a strictly confidential, trigger-free environment to move you past surface-level behavior management. Our goal is concrete: to achieve complete freedom from the compulsion, end the exhausting double life, and transform your primary relationship from one marked by hidden shame to one of genuine trust and unbreakable intimacy within 4 months.
If you’re ready to step out of the shadows and reclaim the peace you were made for, let’s do this together.
“Before I spoke with Chris, I had such a difficult time understanding the often conflicting inclinations within my personality. Through his gentle and attentive style, I found great solace in understanding the importance of each of my desires. I would recommend working with Chris to anyone of my friends and family.” - N
"Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy had such a profound impact on me, I received the training so I could pass the experience along to others to benefit from it. The different parts of our personalities that feel shame or annoyance or distract us can be seen, heard and understood in order to work as a healthy functioning whole. Come experience IFS!" -Chris
