Because who we become is all we truly keep, we work through the 'stuck' places in a way  that is authentic to ourselves and beneficial to those we love.

Navigating Transitions

About

At nineteen, a personal crisis led me into a one-year residential program, sparking a lifelong  journey of holistic healing. This foundation fostered a more intentional life, grounded in the  humility of being a "perpetual beginner." This experience defined my vocation; I began as a  recovery coach and have spent nearly thirty years walking alongside others in their healing.  I’ve learned that we grow best together, and journeying with others is essential to my own  continued becoming.  

My wife and I met in that same residential program and have now been together for nearly  three decades. Having raised five children, we’ve navigated the vast spectrum of  celebration and loss, learning to pilot our lives through both calm and turbulent seas. I am  deeply grateful for those who have walked with me through life’s hardest questions, and I  am honored to join others on their unique paths toward wholeness.

Clinical Approach

In our sessions, you can expect a balance of genuine human connection and practical  interventions. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping us accept the  reality of ‘what is’ while taking intentional steps toward what can be changed. For couples, I  lean heavily into the Gottman Method, providing evidence-based practices to heal  brokenness in communication and rebuild shared meaning.  

Therapy with me isn't about sitting in silence; it’s collaborative and active. We look at the  "blueprints" of your life—your habits, your relationships, and your internal dialogue—to see  what’s serving you and what needs a new way forward. When we stop trying to "fix"  ourselves and start living according to our deepest values, the way before us begins to  open up again.

Who I Work With

I work with people who feel like they’ve lost their sense of direction. I oƯer space to explore  life’s changes with curiosity rather than fear, helping clients to reconnect with their values  and move toward a clearer, more authentic sense of purpose. I work with couples who want  to be authentically themselves, but also have a deep, encouraging connection with one  another. 

Outside the Office

I am a father of five and a husband, and my family is the heartbeat of my life. We love to  travel the world together and realize the world is bigger than our own limited experiences.  In my free time I love to lead contemplative retreats, oƯer spiritual direction, and serve as  an adjunct professor teaching spiritual formation. The contemplative, reflective life is a  major part of my own journey. I believe this life is a fascinating place where we have the  opportunity to become who we truly are.

Training & Background

My training started in the 'school of life'—specifically, an intensive, year-long growth  journey at a residential recovery center in the hills of New Hampshire. From there I focused  on the philosophy and practices of spiritual growth, completing a Master of Divinity and  then a Doctor of Ministry degree in Spiritual Direction from Fuller Seminary. To complement  this, I completed an MSW in clinical social work through the University of Michigan where I  learned ever more about the intricacies of mental health and practices that have proven  most eƯective toward healing. These are the same practices I continue to apply to my own  life.
