First of all, before I became a counselor, I was a son, then a husband, and later a father. That is important to know because that's how I see people. I see people as unique individuals, not clients or patients defined by their problems, but as sons and daughters, husband and wives, moms and dads who are looking for more. Who are trying to make sense of things and find more life and more meaning. 

I have worked with adults, teens and children in a variety of settings since 1986. In 2000 I found my true passion, working with couples, and that is primarily what I have been doing ever since. I love being married. (Becky and I got married in '86. Please read about her, she's amazing!) I see the value of marriage and that influences my work with couples. Whether it is in marriage prep, in helping couples who are struggling to connect because their wounds get in the way, helping couples find a deeper connection in parenting together, or walking alongside a couple healing from an affair, you will find me to be an ally with you for your marriage and family.

We are all on a journey in this life and much like the seasons of a year, our journeys are filled with seasons of change. We all experience seasons that bring exciting change and new possibilities.  At other times we go through seasons where we realize certain aspects of our lives are not all they could be and we desire more.  We also go through seasons of struggle, and the trials of difficult change. Sometimes we feel stuck in a perpetual winter.

I have a heart for meeting people where they are and walking with them as they navigate the road ahead. That may be helping them prepare for the good changes that are coming, or it may be helping them process difficult seasons to bring clarity, direction, and hope as they think about next steps in moving forward.  

Since 2000 I have worked primarily with couples, both married and engaged, as well as with women and young adults. In recent years, my own experience of caring for my mom who had dementia has led me to working with others who find themselves on the path of caring for aging parents.

When I think about myself I can't help but think of all of the people who have made me who I am. Obviously, here I am working in the family business, deeply impacted by my parents. Then there's my wife, Ashley, and the community to which we belong. There have been family, friends, mentors, professors, co-workers, and authors that have helped to make me, to shape me. I think that informs my whole approach not only to counseling but to life. 

While I began by working with adults, specifically with couples, it was in 2019 that I started working with foster and adoptive families. Then with teens in long-term residential care, as well as their families. If anything this experience only reinforced my belief about the power we carry in one another's lives, both in the beauty that we all contain and the wounds that we carry with us. All of these experiences and beliefs led me toward working with both individuals and families with an eye toward the relational. How we are formed by the world we live in (family, friends, societal norms, all that stuff), and how do we work through those relationships to find health and create meaning.
