About Geoff

For over twelve years, I’ve been helping couples and individuals improve their most important relationships.  It has been deeply rewarding to watch clients move out of patterns that have held them and their loved ones back from experiencing their full relationship potential.

I completed a masters degree in marriage and family therapy at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama.  I also hold a bachelors degree from Brigham Young University in communications studies.  Following my graduate work, I worked in community behavioral health where I gained experience working with a wide-range of mental health concerns affecting individuals, couples, and families.  This experience helped me discover my strong interest in working with couples, especially couples affected by pornography addiction, affairs, and other betrayals.  This led to my association with the LifeSTAR network and my move to St. George, UT in 2006 where I opened up a private practice and LifeSTAR of St. George.

I have continued to seek advanced training in both pornography/sexual addiction treatment as well as Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT).  My focus in both my couples work as well as the group work in the LifeSTAR program is helping individuals and couples heal the patterns of attachment in their relationships.

I am the co-author of the book “Love You, Hate the Porn: Healing a Relationship Damaged by Virtual Infidelity“, with Dr. Mark Chamberlain.  I also recorded the 6-part series “Strengthening Recovery Through Strengthening Marriage: Healing from Pornography Addiction” with Dr. Kevin Skinner which is available at www.marriage-recovery.com. I also participated in the documentary “Healing the Broken-Hearted.”

I am a clinical member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, the Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health, and the LifeSTAR Network.  I also write a weekly column for the St. George News Online.

I frequently present at state and national conferences on the subjects of marriage, sexual addiction recovery, and other related topics.  I also provide workshops, trainings, and other presentations for local groups and clergy.  Please contact me if I can assist your organization.

I have been married for 15 years to my wife, Jody, and we are the parents of four children.  I enjoy the outdoors, music, photography, and hanging out with my family.
