Helping Clients Thrive
I practice hope-based therapy—believing you are not defined by a diagnosis, label, or circumstance. Healing and thriving in life and relationships is possible for everyone.
Using proven techniques and tools, I help clients overcome their obstacles and attain the quality of life to which they aspire. Effective life change takes place in a safe and positive environment with a foundation of a trusting and supporting relationship provided for the client.
I am convinced you can change, get healthier, and find fulfillment no matter where you find yourself. There is hope and I offer to walk with you on your journey to wholeness
Why I Became a Counselor
I served as a minister for my first career. I helped many people make sense of difficult events and endure disappointments and then embrace hope and experience fulfillment in lives. However, experiencing mental illness and addiction in my family made me realize what life was like when everything was falling apart, and nothing made sense.
I experienced firsthand the hopelessness, misunderstanding, and isolation associated with mental illness. I wanted to help others who were going through similar circumstances have an ally in their struggle to find peace. Now with personal experience, an excellent education, and training under my belt — I work to show honor, support, hope, along with a workable plan to empower those fighting mental health and emotional illness.
What I Do For Fun

Playing cards and watching movies with my wife
Anything Sci-Fi
