Who am I?

I am a dedicated pastor with nearly two decades of hands-on experience in Christian counseling. I center my counseling approach around temperament, using it as a foundational tool to guide individuals and families. My primary focus is on helping families, especially blended families, build loving and healthy home environments. I also love working with adults, especially at the onset of adulthood and beyond, to help them develop lifestyles that align with God’s goodness.

Our Approach

Temperament represents who we are in our purest form, reflecting how God has uniquely wired us. It influences how we react and interact with ourselves, others, and our environment. By understanding our temperament, we can better recognize our natural strengths and needs. When we meet these needs in healthy ways, we thrive. However, if we ignore or misunderstand these needs, we may become susceptible to challenges like anxiety, fear, relational struggles, anger, addictions, and other difficulties that stem from poor choices and a lack of understanding.

The counseling model we use is rooted in this truth about temperament, and it’s truly life-giving. Temperament is an incredible tool from God that helps us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, our spouses, and our children. It provides valuable insight into our behavior and interactions, always grounded in God’s word to guide us toward practical, effective living. By aligning our temperament with biblical principles, we can navigate life with greater clarity, peace, and purpose.
