I am an international speaker, author, licensed clinical counselor, and ordained pastor with over 15+ years of experience in relationship counseling, leadership, and mental health. Throughout my career, I’ve walked with individuals, couples, and families through some of their most challenging seasons — from premarital preparation to relationship restoration, from life transitions to moments of crisis.
I began my work providing pastoral counseling and later pursued clinical training and licensure to deepen the scope and quality of care I offer. Today, I bridge the worlds of faith and mental health with professionalism, clarity, and compassion. I am passionate about normalizing mental health conversations within faith communities while also creating spaces where both faith-informed and fully secular clients feel respected and supported. Therapy is always collaborative and tailored to each client’s values, goals, and needs.
My clinical approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. I am also a Certified Prepare/Enrich premarital and marital facilitator. In every setting — counseling room, church, conference, or classroom — I focus on helping people build practical emotional skills, gain clarity, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.
As a sought-after speaker, I address topics such as identity, purpose, resilience, motivation, relationships, and mental health. Some of my signature presentations include:
• Dating with Purpose
• The Me I Want to Be
• Bounce Back Better: The Power of Resilience
• MENtal Health
• Love is Respect
• Therapy & Theology
In addition to my professional roles, being a husband and father has shaped much of what I teach and share. Whether you are seeking personal transformation, relationship growth, or a speaker for your organization or church, my commitment is simple: to help you move from where you are to where you want to be.
