About

I help men break free from pornography and sexual addiction, and I help couples build marriages marked by honest communication instead of blame — through counseling grounded in the truth of God's Word.

Reaching out is hard. Guilt, shame, and the fear of being fully known can keep a man silent for years — and pride tells us we should be able to fix this ourselves. I've never had a client tell me he regretted taking that first step. As a biblical counselor, I'm honored to walk alongside men who are ready to stop hiding and start healing, helping them understand the cycle that keeps them stuck and replace it with habits and thinking that honor God.

Marriage brings two imperfect people together to build one life, and that process often gets stuck in cycles of blame and self-protection instead of service and understanding. Whether you're working through the fallout of sexual sin or simply want to communicate without the same old arguments, I help couples see their marriage — and each other — through the lens of Scripture, moving toward the peace God intends for you.

Change is possible. Whether you're a man ready to put off destructive patterns and put on God-honoring ones, or a couple ready to rebuild trust and connection, I'd be glad to help you take the next step.

To best help those in need, we offer in-office as well as on-line appointments.

My Christian Faith and My Professional Practice

I am the son of a pastor who would have benefited greatly by biblical counsel. Sadly, my father never sought help for his struggles, but that inspired me to pursue counseling as a ministry/career. Everyone could benefit from the application of God's Word to their thoughts and the resulting life patterns.

I have personally seen how guilt and shame can cripple individuals and marriages. My desire is to bring healing to that space by the hope and encouragement that only God can offer.
