The experience of being human isn’t always easy. Heartbreak, uncertainty, loss, family
conflict. We can sometimes get stuck in these difficult and painful places. Thankfully, we
don’t have to face these difficulties alone. It is my privilege to walk alongside clients as
they find their way back to wholeness. A deeply empathetic listener, I hold a profound
respect for my clients and trust that they are the experts on their own lives. Whether
clients are dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, or relational distress, I am
honored to journey with them as they discover the insights and solutions that help them
get to where they want to be. I have been married for 24 years, and my wife and I have
two adult children. My greatest passion is helping couples and families overcome the
barriers that hold them back from meaningful connection with one another. It is truly a
joy to see clients move past to their hurt and frustration as they learn how to connect on
a level that they never thought possible.
