I am a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. I work with individuals and couples who want counseling that is both clinically sound and firmly grounded in a Christian worldview. My approach integrates evidence-based methods, including the Gottman Method for couples, Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, while remaining rooted in biblical truth.
Before entering counseling, I spent many years in corporate leadership. That experience gives me a practical understanding of stress, responsibility, workplace pressure, and the strain that professional life can place on marriages and families. I especially enjoy working with professionals who carry significant responsibility and want to grow both personally and spiritually.
My counseling is shaped not only by training, but by life. I was widowed at 40 when my wife passed away unexpectedly. We had been married for 17 years and were raising four daughters at the time. Walking through grief while continuing to lead my family changed me deeply. It strengthened my faith, clarified my priorities, and gave me a profound respect for the weight people carry behind closed doors. I do not treat suffering as a concept to analyze, but as something sacred to steward carefully.
In marriage counseling, I help couples move out of destructive cycles and toward understanding, repair, and renewed commitment. In individual counseling, I work with clients to examine the deeper beliefs and patterns that shape their lives, align those patterns with truth, and build practical strategies for change. When clients desire it, prayer and Scripture are integrated thoughtfully and respectfully into the counseling process.
I believe counseling should be both honest and hopeful. My role is not to judge or to offer quick fixes, but to provide a steady presence, biblical perspective, and practical tools so that individuals and couples can grow in maturity, resilience, and faithfulness.
If you are looking for a counselor who understands leadership, loss, marriage, and the daily realities of family life—and who seeks to honor Christ in the counseling room—I would be honored to walk alongside you.
