Twelve-Two Christian Counseling

Every person has a story. In embracing that story, I am convinced that we can find the endurance to continue the journey, the courage to forge new paths, and the authenticity to offer genuine love to ourselves and others.

My clinical counseling work grew out of many years of pastoral care. My experience includes serving as a pastor for 15 years, a missionary for five years, and a military chaplain for 20 years. During those years, I counseled individuals and families as they courageously sought lives marked by greater freedom, vitality, and authenticity. Much of my work has focused on relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and stress. Having served on four military deployments and spent a year at a Level I trauma center, I have also become closely acquainted with grief, loss, and trauma.

I will journey with you wherever you are in your spiritual life, seeking neither to run ahead nor lag behind. It is important for you to know, however, that my perspective on the issues of life flows from my relationship with God. That relationship is the foundation for every other relationship in my life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and am pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. I am certified in numerous personality instruments and in the Prevention and Relationship Education Program (PREP). I am also a certified Prepare/Enrich trainer. I serve as Pastor and Teacher of First Colony Bible Chapel. I have been married since 1976 and have three children, ten grandchildren, and one great grandchild.
