Philosophy

I believe that we are all inherently flawed from birth. Many of our emotional and psychological problems can been seen as misguided attempts to ease the pain of our existence here on earth.  Ultimately, that pain is not escapable until we are in heaven and see the One who created us face to face.  For now we live by faith, taking comfort in things we cannot see, and feeling a sense of purpose when we live our lives more in tune with the kingdom of God.

I have found that there are many ways to help people change.  Sometimes, simply explaining the truth to them does the trick.  Often, a combination of teaching and coaching is helpful.  Sometimes, people benefit from simply being heard, and cared for.  I have been educated, trained and had experience using many therapeutic interventions; but none of them is worth anything without the grace of God.

Biographical Information

I was born in New Jersey, but when I was nine years old, my grandparents and I moved to West Palm Beach, FL.  I met and married my wife, Karen while at Palm Beach Atlantic College.  In 1987, shortly after our first wedding anniversary, we moved to Northern California so that I could attend Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary.  While I had known for a while that I wanted to be in the ministry, I did not fully realize until 18 months after entering Seminary that I was specifically called to be a Christian Counselor.  I spent the next nine years working in the field, obtaining my Masters degree, and becoming a licensed therapist.  I have been in lay ministry since my college days,  entered the mental health field in 1989, and became ordained to the ministry in 1998, while serving as a part-time pastor of youth and small groups.
