I have a passion for helping families and young people. Parenting in all stages of life can be difficult, which is why I seek to provide support, understanding, and tools to help enhance your family relationships. I work directly with caregivers to manage behaviors of toddlerhood. I connect well with middle schoolers who find it difficult to connect with others. I also enjoy helping teenagers find hope and healing while overcoming depression and trauma. I’m like a teacher in that you should learn something from me, like a doctor in that you should overcome symptoms, and like a firefighter in that I help keep kids safe.

Navigating life stressors can be overwhelming. Feelings of anxiety, depression, grief and loss, in addition to traumatic life experiences can feel debilitating. You don’t have to face these challenges alone. My goal is to create a safe space where you can feel seen, validated, empowered, and gain tools as you move towards a season of healing, and growth. My approach is collaborative, which means that I work with clients to create a treatment plan focused on their individual needs and strength. I work with teens 16+, adults, and families on life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues of spirituality.

I started my own practice, Elbow Tree Christian Counseling, in 2006, because I wanted to paint the walls my own color, bring my dog to the office and wear flip flops! The practice grew to include a team of several really good friends and my wife, April.
Over the past 15 years, I have loved working with every angle of the family. If you looked at my schedule on any given day, you'd probably see a few married couples, some exhausted and burnt-out parents, a college student, a 4th-12th grader, someone having an affair, someone who has been crushed by a loss or a person who is wrestling through their attraction to the same gender. I often find that a person's willingness to come in and simply talk about things creates at least 50% of the change they are looking for.

Pet peeves: when prayer needs are taken, and these are the most common replies: “I need wisdom and guidance.” (Who doesn’t?) “My aunt’s neighbor fell on her butt in the driveway. Please pray that she doesn't require surgery.” (People have a way of distancing themselves from being honest about what they really need.) Imagine the freedom you might experience if you had the liberty to be truthful about what you really need. For example, “I’m not even sure I believe in God anymore; I’m so angry and hurt.” I am a board-certified chaplain (BCC) and seminary-trained pastor (MDiv) working as a FT pastoral counselor (19 years).
