I approach counseling from a holistic, attachment perspective, with training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (trauma intervention). Our experiences, positive or negative, affect the way we think, interact with emotion, and ultimately how we interact with ourselves and others. I would love to walk alongside you with empathy, compassion, and honesty as we explore and work toward healing and aligning your behavior to your values. 

Personal Interests

I have the overwhelming privilege to be a husband and father. As a family, we enjoy being outside hiking, spending time in the mountains, playing volleyball in the backyard with friends and family, and enjoying a good coffee. As a former missionary kid, and experience as a church leader, I have a heart to help ministry leaders in the challenges of life in vocational ministry.
