About

I am a Christian Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT# 123926). I hold a Masters in Pastoral Ministry from the Oblate School of Theology and a Master of Science in Counseling from the University of Phoenix. I have experience working in church ministry and in a mental health clinic working with anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. I am a follower of Jesus Christ, husband, father, and military veteran. I've been married for over 23 years and have three children now transitioning into teen and young adult.

As a Christian counselor my faith life is pretty simple. I believe in the saving power of God and the grace that he bestows upon us. I welcome all faith traditions, denominations, cultures, genders, and journeys. I am not here to judge but to listen and help.
