I have been providing individual, couples and family Christian Counseling at Creekside Christian Church in Elk Grove since July 2012. I graduated with my Master’s degree in Counseling from Western Seminary. My goal is a comfortable, discreet environment that will allow a safe conversation that leads to awareness for you. I aim to make this discovery pleasant and rewarding. My hope is that the circumstances you’re facing will motivate you to try my counseling process so that the experience can be an uplifting impactful hour out of your week. I am confident the process will help you gain new understandings that will motivate you to explore, understand and intimately improve this challenging season you are facing.

My life experience, professional education, church involvement and seminary training have taught me that God must be #1. My personal sifting process has given me insight into certain life challenges including grief and loss (my first wife passed at age 42), addiction, blended family, boundary struggles (both husband/wife and parent/child/family) and sexual issues to name a few. I am confident that after one session you will have a better understanding of where you are, why you are there and if taking the counseling journey with me is the right next step for you!

Career Counseling is also a strength because of my theology/psychology-based masters training combined with my BS in business from CSUS and 30+ years owning a small business. There are surprising answers to a frustrating unfulfilling career that come from my unique perspective.
