I experienced what I call my "pre-mid-life crisis" at the age of 18, where I encountered a deep sense of depression and anxiety; a feeling that has since ebbed and flowed throughout my life. 

These times for me have always been marked by loneliness and frustration​.

 

These times also left me with lots of questions about the nature of suffering and over the years serving in the helping profession, I found I was met by these same questions from the people I was serving.

 

After serving in Christian ministry for 6 years and seeing so many suffering with mental health, Emily and I sensed an invitation to meet this need.

​​

Early on in my counseling career, I became frustrated with classic counseling approaches as I felt like they only gave half of the picture to the human soul.

​

This led me to where we are today!

​

Our souls are beautifully complex and it takes more than just a "method" or "technique" for healing to ensue.

​

That's why I aim to honor your soul through caring for you holisitically.

​

Body, Mind, Spirit.

​

This is the only way I've found healing.

​

On top of this, I have found this approach, in synergy with spirituality, provides the most optimistic framework for the soul to heal. ​

​

During our time together we will explore where you've been, where you're at, where you are going, and listening for what needs to be mended.

​​​

Aside from counseling, I love my family, coffee, running, and a good book! 

​

I'm just a normal guy who really likes being with people!
