About Us

Welcome! I am a retired Navy Chaplain with 10 years of enlisted service and 8 years as a chaplain. I retired in 2008 and then worked 7 years as a mental health crisis worker, housed homeless Veterans for four years, and now I have been doing telehealth therapy since 2020, just before the pandemic. I have a wide variety of experiences with many different types of people in many other situations. My expertise is in crisis and trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. I am also quite friendly and easy to get to know to help you understand what's happening in your life. I can't say I know everything, but I can say that if I don't know it, I'll do the research to find out. Love research. I have two master's degrees and a doctorate. My doctorate is in ministry from Regent University. I have further PhD work in counseling and education from Capella University. Learning is key to understanding. Of course, one of those master’s degrees is in counseling (a major in Marriage and Family therapy). I have counseling licenses in two states (Oregon and Washington). My other Master’s degree is in ministry.

I have worked in ministry and in the secular field which, I believe, gives me a good balance in helping people where they are at. I don't push my beliefs on anyone. It is my understanding that I am to journey with people from where they are at, to where they want to be. I know the answers are there, but finding the answers is like taking a journey together, and when the answer is found, you are the one who finds it. I am just there to guide and provide some information.
