As the founding director of Valley Christian Counseling Center my desire is that this would be a place of grace and healing. My own personal experience is one of having received large amounts of God’s grace, and I desire to offer that same grace to others. I believe everyone bears the image of God; therefore, I see everybody as having significance and value.

My pastoral background has influenced my heart and has given me compassion for all people. My desire is to create a non-judgmental atmosphere that is warm, caring, and safe. I am an ordained minister and have been counseling for 30+ years.

Areas of Interest: Grief, depression, men’s issues. Works with male individuals. Works with ages 18 and older.

Education & Experience:  Bachelor of Science degree in Family Relations and Child Development – North Dakota State University. Master's degree in Theology – Western Seminary, Portland, OR. 30 years experience.
