    With over two decades of professional and pastoral counseling experience, I consider it a great privilege to partner with individuals and couples as they navigate life’s trials and sufferings. In our work together we’ll discern, craft, and pursue your counseling goals, and we’ll lean on God’s Word, the influence of the Holy Spirit, and other proven therapeutic approaches as we go. In my experience, pursuits like these also bring about ample opportunities for real-life change and real growth in understanding, hope, healing, and wholeness.

  • Toxic Traits in a Relationship to Look Out For

    Relationships of all kinds bring together people who may have various similarities and differences that make their dynamic interesting. These differences may be in temperament, personality, life experiences, culture, or outlook. Unlikely friendships and connections can happen, and it’s such a joy when you find someone that you have a kinship with. Not all kinds of dynamics in relationships are happy ones, though. It could be a romantic relationship, a friendship, a parent-child situation, or a relationship between colleagues.
