Carolina to provide therapy as well. Message me for more information. Better days are within your reach. Have you been struggling with the same problems, thoughts, or feelings for weeks, months, or even years and can't seem to get them under control? Are your intimate, social, and work relationships being affected by reoccurring problems and thoughts? It's very frustrating when your thoughts, emot

ions, and behaviors are not in line with your values and who you want to be. You know that if you could just learn to let go of the past and focus on the present, then your life and relationships will improve; but you just don't know how. I'm an anxiety, relationship, and addiction specialist. S*x and p**n are often main areas of focus for those seeking relief from reoccurring problems or addictions. As we work together you will start finding hope for a better future. More importantly you will start living the type of life that you've envisioned for yourself and your relationships for so long. I work with clients and couples dealing with reoccurring problems of all kinds such as p**nography, sexual issues, self-harming, codependency, poor communication, money issues, anxiety, etc. I will be with you every step of the way through therapy as we work together to improve yourself, your relationships, and discover the better days that lie ahead. I'm licensed in UT, ID, AZ, WA, and registered to do teletherapy in North and South Carolina. I'm licensed as a LPC, LCPC, CMHC, and a LMHC. I also have a coaching business for those not in those states and only need coaching. Aside from work I enjoy spending time with my wife and children. We enjoy traveling, playing games, going for walks, being outside, watching movies, playing video games, throwing darts and much more.

When I have a moment for myself, you'll find me outdoors fishing or golfing. I also enjoy watching movies, which you'll often find me quoting.

For single moms and dads ---- I really don't do this much as it's my 2nd post like this but as therapists we hear about problems, traumatic events, relationship issues, and more all day long. Though we help a lot we do get effected by hearing about those things over time or at times.

The hardest things for me to hear and deal with is learning about how some clients were abused by their parents as kids or knowing how some kids are being treated by their parents currently or learning of situations kids are currently in.

I've also been thinking about those who for whatever reason have found themselves as single parents and are trying to make the best of a tough situation after a divorce, breakup, or from losing a spouse/partner to death. It can be super challenging to still show up each day for your kids and even more challenging to show up for yourself but keep doing it! When I see you alone with your kids doing fun things or hard things things I look at you with a sense of awe and wonder and have so much respect and admiration for what you do! I struggle so much with my kids and I have my wife to help each day (probably more me lending a helping hand to her each day😉).

It can be very frustrating to co-parent with someone that seems to care more about making life hard for you than they do the kids. It can be hard learning how to use a Crock-Pot and braid your daughter‘s hair as a dad. It can be hard teaching your boys how to play sports and teaching them all the rules if you don’t know them as a mom. It can take a lot to take your son fishing as a mom if you don't like the smell of fish. It can be tough taking your kids out to a restaurant by yourself.

I read of a mom the other day, who was struggling with her kids at a restaurant, and went to pay for her food and the server told her that a gentleman had already covered her bill. That meant so much to her and meant so much to me to know that there was a good man who was observant and decided to make a difference in this mom's day and life instead of judging her for not having complete control of her kids.

With all the bad we hear and read about that happens in the world it sure helps to hear more good things like that happening. It takes a village to get through life and to raise good kids in the world. Kids need their parents whether living together or not. They need their aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. They need to feel important, loved, and cared for. They even need random people demonstrating how to be a man and cover a meal for a mom and her kids. Keep rocking it all you moms and dads! Kids need us.

I want to give a Facebook shout out to one amazing dad who I’ve looked up to for my whole life, my brother, Josh Downs. I've looked up to him as a dad for all that he has done for his two daughters who are amazing girls themselves. He's been the best dad, teacher, "mom" when it's his turn with his girls, and friend to them. He's a dad along with my dad that I aspire to be

He's been the best, oldest, big bro to me and all my siblings. He's had to take charge and handle a lot of tough situations such as being the one to take our pets to the vet to be put down and then bury them over the years. That ain't easy when we're all sobbing. That's one of many things that comes to mind. You're the best! Love you bro!

To the WOMEN out there that have been EMOTIONALLY and/or PHYSICALLY ABUSED by their husbands or boyfriends and still show up for themselves as well as their kids each and everyday I just want to say, I think you're AMAZING and I have tons of RESPECT for you! I ALSO know it's not easy to get out of abusive relationships.

To the men that don't know how to treat a woman maybe because it wasn't modeled well enough by their father or a father figure you need to know it's okay to get into therapy, to take relationship classes, read books on relationships, admit you're wrong, etc. etc.

I know there's plenty of women that don't treat men very well either but I've met with way more women than men that have been with partners that were controlling, emotionally and physically abusive, and that couldn't take any accountability for anything they did wrong.

I'm not perfect by any means and don't want this to come across as a holier than thou post. I just often hear from clients how they're being treated or have been treated by their husbands or boyfriends and it really, really frustrates me.

Felt like I had to give a shout out to women that have been hurt/betrayed as well a plea to men to do better. I have a current client that is a man and that has been cheated on twice by his ex wife and current wife and from what I know is a good, hard working guy. So, reiterating that it's not just men that aren't treated well.

Both men and women mainly just want to be "seen" by their partners. There's too much to say on here how to do that and what it fully entails to be "seen" but it's something for both to work towards being able to say about each other.

The thing I love most about my wife is that she "sees me" for me! If you can't get your partner to "see you" for you then time to rethink things a bit. Ok, got enough off my chest. Sorry if this doesn't apply to you but I think it applies to all of us in some degree.
