Introduction

My passion as a Sexual Addiction Therapist comes from a life-long struggle with my sexual addiction. From a very young age, I entered a highly sexualized world, including sexual abuse by five different men from age five to fourteen. All of these men played a significant and trusting role in my life. When I was eleven years old, losing my father to emphysema forced me to grow up overnight into an overcompensating perfectionist. Perfect student, perfect son, and later a perfect member of the United States Air Force created an unsustainable persona. I chose addictive behavior to escape the unrealistic expectations I placed on myself. When I hit rock bottom, I realized the only way up was to give to others. Obtaining a master’s in counseling degree and a Doctorate in Community Care and Counseling, Traumatology, from Liberty University, I started my counseling practice. Today, Bright Side Counseling is a leading counseling center in the Midlands of South Carolina to treat Problematic Sexual Behavior. I developed a highly successful Problematic Sexual Behavior treatment program that includes individual therapy sessions to treat trauma, group workshops to explore family of origin dynamics that influence behavior, and partner with local 12-Step programs to provide peer support. I look forward to assisting you on your journey!
