I have over 31 years in full-time Christian ministry including over a decade of experience in full-time Christian biblical counseling/professional therapy. Twenty years of those thirty-one years were served in executive administrative leadership with Prison Fellowship Ministries. As an ordained minister and also a licensed marriage and family therapist having served as a Pastor of Family Ministries, I understand the needs of the local church and community. I hope you will consider allowing me and the Center for Enriching Relationships to serve you and the people of your congregation and or business.

I believe that God wants everyone to experience an abundant life full of meaning, purpose and joy overflowing (John 10:10). If your marriage, family or other relationships need help God has the answers and together we will find them. Allow me to serve you, your family and or friends. As an ordained minister and also a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am able to accurately and skillfully apply the Word of Life to the issues of life in areas of:
