As a Licensed Professional Counselor (PhD, LPC) for more than two decades, I have had the privilege of helping individuals and couples navigate the complex chapters of their lives. My work is guiding people as they do the profound work of rediscover who they are meant to be.
Beyond the counseling office, I remain actively engaged in teaching and pastoral care. I serve as the Pastor of Care Support at Ada Bible Church and as a professor at Cornerstone Theological Seminary in their counseling department.
I have been married to my wife, Julie, for thirty-two years, and together we share two married adult sons and our grandson. In my free time, I enjoy golf, writing and painting. At this link you, can see some of the works I have done over the years.
I offer a range of services designed to help you move forward:
Personal Counseling: If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or emotional hurdles, we will talk through the issues and build a concrete plan to restore your hope.
Career Consulting: Feeling stuck professionally? I can help you clarify and navigate the next steps in your current or future career.
Clinical Supervision: For counselors in Michigan, I provide professional supervision to help you confidently navigate your caseload as an LLPC.
These are just a few of the ways I support my clients. Please feel free to reach out and schedule a free consultation.
Many of us experience seasons of confusion or ambivalence about our faith. We find ourselves asking: Who is God? What is He really like? Does He actually want a relationship with me, and if so, how does that work?
I wrote The End of All Our Exploring to help answer those questions and offer a practical roadmap for spiritual growth. Blending my experiences as both a psychologist and a pastor, the book is filled with engaging stories and actionable guidance. Together, we explore the spiritual journey through three distinct stages of faith: the believer, the servant, and the friend of God.
If you are looking to deepen your relationship with God and move forward in your faith, I wrote this book for you.

One of my greatest joys in life is painting and writing. I have been painting for 25 years and it is a sacred space for me to express myself with brush and paint.
This particular piece, captures a moment with my grandfather when I was five years old, and is one of my favorite works. The most profound theology I ever learned didn’t come from a seminary; it came from my grandfather. He was a man who spent his career on a Roper factory assembly line and loved one woman for fifty-two years. He showed me what sacrifice looks like, giving me a clear picture of what God must be like.
