About

Life can be extremely tough at times.  Difficult times can blindside us.  Sometimes, it’s the struggle in our marriage, or difficulty with one of the kids.  It can show up in our work feeling stressful or lacking purpose.  It might just be that blah feeling, discouragement or feeling overwhelmed with what hasn’t been difficult in the past.  At times it can feel hopeless, but there is always hope.  Sometimes, there isn’t a quick answer, we just need someone to walk with us through the tough path.  I’m willing to walk with you.

“I have a passion for being a husband and dad.  This value is carried forward to my relationships with clients.  Because I’ve been married with kids for a while, I realize both how difficult and rewarding day to day life with family can be.  It is so satisfying and important to keep our family relationships developing forward.  I view life as being holistic, what effects the body also effects the mind.”

“I have been married nearly 30 years with four adult kids (one who is married).  I’m active in church and finding ways to contribute to others.  When not working I am likely to be enjoying simple things like time with family or friends, a good meal, sitting on the deck watching a sunset or finding ways to laugh.”

Ray is a marriage and family therapist, located in Eden Prairie, MN.  He works with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, or difficult life circumstances or transitions.  He also works with couples navigating difficulties in their marriages or dealing with parenting issues.
