Personal:

I have been living in Minnesota since 1999 after growing up in Wausau, Wisconsin. I am happily married and enjoying life with my beautiful wife and four children. When I'm not working you will likely find me outdoors: camping, climbing, sports, adventure, and even just shoveling snow. Give me a challenge or problem and I'll try to solve it. I love to analyze, research, and strategize to find workable solutions. I enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures. I am passionate about working with and learning more about the brain.

Professional:

I have been working in the counseling field and administering assessments with individuals, couples, and families since 2005.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults.

My areas of specialty include ADD/ADHD, anxiety. autistic spectrum, communication and conflict resolution, couples counseling, depression, learning disabilities, life transitions, marriages, PTSD, parenting, reconciliation, sexual addiction, and work stress.

I thoroughly enjoy working with couples and helping marriages find restoration. Sifting through the muck of conflict, disappointment, betrayal or an affair is difficult, there is no easy way around it, but you can get through it. I take a hands on, action orientated, solution-focused approach helping you to take the next right steps to see love and hope restored.
