I am the founder and director of Heritage Counseling Center. My goal for our clinic is helping people find holistic balance emotionally, relationally, spiritually, and physically. I use my training listed below to help those struggling with the painful impact of compulsive sexual behavior, sex addiction, pornography addiction, infidelity, and the trauma these leave  their wake.

Specializing in trauma, addiction, and relationship injuries I believe our addictions and unhealthy patterns stem from heart wounds that happened when we were learning how to interact and live in this chaotic world. Our current patterns, good or bad, are ways we have learned to handle earlier wounds. I use EMDR to help heal these wounds and set new patterns.

We are made to be in relationship and our problems arise when we have experienced a break from community. John counsels his clients from the perspective that we all need to be seen, heard, and validated. He strives to help clients re-connect and find the community they so desperately need. 

His experience from working in full-time ministry and addictions has shown him how so many are walking through life alone, believing if their faith was stronger, their problems would be taken away. 

John has training in internal family systems therapy (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Processing (EMDR), Prepare-Enrich Couples Counseling, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Pure Desire Ministry Sexual Addiction Counseling. John is also a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist candidate.
