Depth, directness, and results.

Background

Training matters. So does understanding your story.

Brian is a Missouri Licensed Professional Counselor with more than ten years of clinical experience. He earned graduate degrees in counseling and theological studies from Covenant Theological Seminary and is EMDR trained.

He is also the author of Turn Off Porn, a practical examination of the emotional, neurological, relational, and spiritual factors that can sustain pornography use.

Twenty people can tell me they avoid conflict and need twenty different conversations. One may not know how to say what they need. Another can be direct at work but feels terrified of disappointing their spouse. Someone else learned very early that speaking up cost them closeness. I want to understand the context, not hand you a technique before I know what it needs to address.

I may ask for an example, offer another way to understand it, or help you put something into words that has been hard to explain. We can use practical changes, work with the influence of earlier experiences, and consider EMDR when appropriate. We also need to ask whether the work is making a difference in your actual life.
