I have been passionately devoted to guiding individuals through life's challenges for over a decade in ministry. As a Christian Counselor, my journey began with a calling to attend Liberty University, where I pursued a degree in Religion and Christian Counseling and graduated Summa Cum Laude. This academic foundation, along with my past shepherding experience, provided me with invaluable knowledge and skills, shaping my integrative approach to counseling. I am glad to be a certified facilitator of both the Prepare / Enrich and SYMBIS marriage assessment programs, allowing me to help both premarital and seasoned couples establish and navigate their relationships with confidence and biblical understanding. In my personal life, my wife and I actively participate in our local church community, supporting marriages through classes and small groups. I feel it is important for Christian brothers and sisters to live in community.

I also hold numerous certifications from the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) and Light University. These include training in areas such as women’s issues, marital counseling, healthy sexuality, caring for people God’s way, and disciplined living and others. Launching Hope Counseling in association with Grace Church represents the culmination of my commitment to offer faith-based counseling that respects all individuals as God's image-bearers seeking client-based care. My practice is a supportive space that embraces a Christian worldview, addressing not only mental health challenges and addressing life's difficulties but also nurturing the long-term joy and peace found in the gospel of Jesus. The Lord intends us to have peace when we look to Him and His promises. John 16:33 offers, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Romans 15:13 - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
