Early in my married life, I had a bad experience with Christian counseling. Effectively, I was told, “Don’t you know what you are doing is sin? Stop it!” I did not continue with that counselor, but I thought There must be more to it than that.
After reading James 1:25, I began to believe that God doesn’t want us to be told what to do as much as He wants us to see and experience the freedom of His Word in the real world – in our everyday lives.
The result for me has been a “where the rubber meets the road” kind of faith and therapeutic practice. I believe both research and faith need to be “real” (1 Corinthians 15:23) and applicable (James 2:16) to the issues we struggle with.
I believe God has provided a path – in His revealed Truth in Scripture and in science – to the issues we as humans struggle with internally in our genes, physiology, emotions, and thoughts or externally in our relationships with families, spouses, kids, parents, work associates, and even God.

He became a clinical director at Spirit Counseling TX in 2015.
“What I have observed in these experiences and the thousands of hours I have spent with individuals and families, is that there is a path out of the internal and external suffering; there is freedom (Galatians 5:1), and I would very much like to explore that path with you!”
