I believe that relationship is central to our experience as humans and counseling. God created us and gave us relationship with Him and through His Son. As a result, this relationship became central to our experience with each other. It is through the context of relationship that we are broken and damaged, but also through the context of relationship that we are healed and grow. In the counseling room and through our work together, I believe first and foremost in helping and encouraging you in your relationship with Him. I also believe that it is through our relationship in the counseling room that you will experience the opportunity to grow and heal. Even though the sin done to us and our own capacity for sin has damaged our capacity to flourish, God has made a way for us to cast off that which binds and grow in His light.

I am passionate about people and the multitude of ways that God has brought about our stories. In my work as a counselor, I am fundamentally a man of faith and I am also clinically trained. This means that I consider what God teaches through His word and Spirit to be foundational and transformational, and I also recognize and leverage what science can tell us about the way our minds and bodies work.

As a man who has been deeply affected and healed by counseling, I love working with all kinds of people. As a former military aviator (pilot) and US Air Force Officer, working with military families and their struggles is something I care deeply about. But after spending time in ministry and traveling throughout the world in various missional contexts, God has given me a heart for his Church and the unique challenges that church leaders face. From working with teenagers and the struggle this time in our lives brings, to the married couple who has decades of experience, I love working with people who are struggling and are wanting change.
