About Me

I have a sports background, coaching and playing football at the college level.  While at PLU I played under hall of fame coach Frosty Westering in a program that focused on development in a positive and encouraging fashion. I also enjoy activities and challenges of many kinds, including basketball, pickle-ball, and backpacking.

More important than my role as a counselor, I am also a husband and a father.

I have worked in a variety of helping settings, including: Private Practice for over 20 years, Crisis Response Services in Spokane County, adolescent inpatient services, working with adolescents in the juvenile justice system in Tacoma, and working at community mental health centers.
