Job 36:11 states, “If they hear and serve Him, they WILL end their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.”

For many Christians in their middle and later years – it doesn’t seem like this verse is true at all.  Rather than prosperity and pleasures, there is depression and anxiety and specifically, there are personal losses in terms of children, parents, family, and friends.  There is sorrow and difficulties.  Our life is more like the beginning of Job (where he loses his wealth, health, and even his children) rather than the prosperity and restoration at the end.  If that is where you are, I would consider it a privilege to use my many years of experience as a Christian, a professor, and a psychologist to help you move, process, and hopefully, change that narrative.

I have had very good success in working with individuals suffering from Anxiety, Depression, and Panic Disorder.  I have trained with David Burns the author of “Feeling Good” and “Feeling Great” which is a proven Cognitive Behavioral approach to those and similar problems.

I also have been doing couples counseling for the past 30 years with a special emphasis in helping men in marriage. To that end, I have written a book for married men, Perfect Circle: A Husband’s Guide to Six Tasks of a Contemporary Christian Marriage (available on Amazon and Kindle).

On a personal level, I have been married for 37 years and have four adult children.  I am an elder in the Presbyterian Church in America.  I enjoy hiking, jogging, and swimming, and just being outside.

I try to integrate faith and spirituality in all of my sessions as desired by my clients.
