Restoring Freedom
Turquoise ocean under a blue sky, with the Restoring Freedom Therapy Counselling Services logo

Hey There, I’m Paul.

I am a professional therapist specializing in addiction counselling, as well as sex addiction and infidelity counselling.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master of Arts degree, majoring in Marriage & Family Therapy.

I have a passion for helping those caught up in the world of addiction – both those who are in the bondage of addiction and those partners and spouses who have suffered immeasurably from the actions of their addicted partners (see “Services”).

My passion for this area has been fueled by two sources:

First is my training in this area.

I have spent countless hours studying the field of addiction through numerous sources. My specialized education is from the American Association for Sex Addiction Therapy, where I hold certificates in “Sex Addiction Training” and “Partner’s Recovery Training”.

Second is my own story.

I am a recovering sex addict. Facing the low point of my life, I got help and started on the path to recovery and freedom. I have eight years of sobriety and I love seeing lives changed as people work for the freedom that they deserve.
