My Story

For more than a decade, I’ve had the privilege of walking with individuals, couples, and families through some of life’s hardest seasons. My journey began in the church — serving as a pastor, sitting with hurting people, helping couples rebuild trust and reconnect with God and with each other. Later, I became a Licensed Professional Counselor, blending biblical truth with evidence-based tools to support emotional and relational healing.
But long before I ever sat across from clients, my training began at home — in my own marriage.
​
My wife and I have been married for over twenty-one years, and our story has been anything but simple. We faced battles we never saw coming: anxious and avoidant attachment styles clashing, seasons of deep miscommunication, infertility, breast cancer, infidelity, and moments where the temptation to walk away felt overwhelming. There were nights we slept in the same house but lived in different emotional worlds. There were days we felt more like enemies than partners. And there were moments — honest, painful moments — where divorce seemed easier than fighting for each other.
​
But God met us in the middle of our brokenness.
​
Through faith, counseling, humility, and a willingness to face our wounds rather than run from them, we slowly rebuilt what felt shattered. We learned how to communicate in ways that were safe, compassionate, and honest. We learned how to see each other’s pain instead of defending our own. We learned how to repair after hurt, forgive deeply, and grow into partners who choose love — not because it’s easy, but because it’s sacred.
Our story didn’t destroy us. It shaped us.
​
It taught me that real love isn’t about perfection — it’s about partnership. It’s about learning each other’s emotional language. It’s about creating a marriage that is spiritually anchored, emotionally safe, and practically strong.
​
Today, my heart is simple:
Take everything God has walked me through — the victories and the valleys — and use it to help other couples experience healing, connection, and transformation.
​
Whether I’m coaching couples, leading a group, teaching in a church, creating content, or speaking to a room full of people, my mission remains the same:
To help Christian couples build marriages that honor God, withstand storms, and reflect the gospel through how they love each other.
​
My education gives me the tools.
My professional experience gives me the insight.
But my marriage gives me the testimony.
​
And together, all three fuel my calling to help couples not just survive — but thrive.
