About

As a companion on your journey, I combine an uncommon wealth of experience with a refreshing style of engagement and understanding.

​With expertise in family systems therapy, childhood and adolescent issues, premarital and marital issues, men’s issues, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) together we can help find hope and healing.

​I am privileged to walk alongside my clients, whatever the need, on their journey to seek hope and healing.

I have more than 30 years of professional counseling experience working with individuals, couples, and families.

I have a heart for people struggling with the issues of everyday life, and offer developmental and instructional interventions as well as encouragement in a caring, therapeutic relationship.

Clients consistently comment that I provide a steadying influence during a crisis and help them make long-term changes toward a healthier and more productive life.

​I look forward to helping you find hope, healing, and peace for your journey through life!

My wife and I have been married since January 1, 1977 and have five adult children and six grandchildren! I have learned so much, not only in my formal education, but through life lessons with my three birth children and two adopted children.

I am an ordained pastor in a non-denominational Christian Church, where I served for 35 years. Now, I believe my calling is to help anyone in need, inside and outside of the church.

I hope to reach out to those who struggle with the same things that my wife and I have struggled through! As a pastor, I hope to reach out to those pastors and their families who need support! More than anything else, I want to use all of my gifts and talents to help and serve others with the love that comes only through Jesus!
