Meet The Therapist

Professionally

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, in private practice. I have been assisting many LDS men, women, and teens through Christ-centered, spiritually-based relationship healing via telephone therapy. Spirituality is a core part of us a children of God and when you couple your relationship with Jesus Christ and supplement that with therapy you begin to author a new understanding of yourself and how to  overcome difficulties you may have dealt with for years. Addictions, chronic relational conflict, depression, anxiety, divorce, blended families, pornography addiction, parent/teen relationships, same-gender attraction, sexual issues, and trauma are all areas that I am proficient and deal with weekly with my clients.

I have taught university classes on relationships, spoken at several national and regional conferences, presented to church groups and other local settings when invited. I currently operate and own my own practice and have for many years helping individuals, couples, teens, and families find answers, hope, and healing in themselves and their relationships.

Personally
I grew up in the Northwest in a large family. Much of my time is spent hiking and exploring the outdoors with my wife and kids. Challenge and adventure have always been part of what I enjoy so on a typical week you’ll find me reading new nonfiction literature, hiking a canyon, or playing with my family in a city park.

Blog
I created this blog as a venue for individuals that are not seeing a therapist and want simple dialogue around issues they are facing. This blog is not intended to replace mental health services but to provide psychoeducational information from a professional counselor currently in practice.
