Are you emotionally spent by caring for others? Feeling like you have insufficient energy and time to do what you feel like you should do?

Are you finding yourself increasingly upset by the level of conflict and tension in your relationships with your family, friends, and intimate partners? Do you want to find strength, insight and encouragement to help you so you can express who you really are, and make peace around you?  

 These are all problems of caring, virtue, identity, and meaning - areas which I have spent my career working to understand and address.  As a doctorate level clinical counselor, I have a good deal of experience and training - but more importantly, as a husband, father, counselor, firefighter, and caregiver for aging family, I know some of the burdens that trouble people who want to serve and care for others.

I am trained in some powerful healing methods, such as motivational interviewing (MI), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). As a part time college professor teaching the classics, I learned some timeless wisdom in literature and philosophy that can also help us in our darker moments. As we read in Proverbs, "A good word in due season is like apples of gold in fittings of silver." A good helper knows what you might need to hear at the right time. 

As I believe we are all called to grow, I am currently in seminary on the road to becoming a chaplain, and hopefully a rabbi. I hope those with an interest in spirituality will find nourishing fellowship in our sessions together. As someone who feels called to serve others, I welcome all those who are seeking to continue their development to become better helpers and caregivers, better wives and husbands and and parents - but most importantly, better people.

In 2015, I earned a Ph.D. in Counselor Education, with dissertation on Empathy and Moral Development. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and member of the Association for Biblical Counselors.
