I have had a passion to help people to thrive in freedom ever since I was 12 years old. After nearly dying from a five-year long mystery autoimmune disease, I was healed after receiving a powerful encounter with the Living God. I spent the next six years getting grounded in the second chance at life God graciously provided for me, and getting past false views of God (and myself) in the context of being involved full time with discipleship and short-term missions at the Youth With A Mission (YWAM) base outside Chico, California. I felt the call in 2004 to transition into more formal training in the people-helping arena, and started my college journey as a Behavioral Science major. Over the years I have taken Biblical Counseling certification courses (with an emphasis on Marriage) through the American Association of Christian Counselors, and have been trained in numerous inner healing modalities. 

​

I completed Life Coaching certification coursework in 2017 through Bethel Church in Redding, CA. and have seen its effectiveness during a six year period of helping groups of men get past growth-stunting issues as a leader in a group now called the Whole Man Project.

​

In the process of my studies in various inner healing modalities, while I am confident some have definitely been helpful to many people (including myself), I have long felt that there must be a better, faster, and (in some cases) purer way to bring healing to people, including people who had difficulty feeling connected to God. I am thankful that through a process developed by Laura Duncan called The Compassion Method, I have finally found such a modality; and I am thankful to have gotten certified as a Compassion Method Consultant in 2022. This modality, and the principles behind it, have transformed (and continue to transform) my ability to bring deep and lasting freedom and peace to people, which is very exciting to me! 

​

My passion for you is that you would be freed from the pain, lies, and unmet needs that have kept you chained to your past and going around and around in circles with things that don't actually bring you life; and that through love- and truth-revelation the True You would be joyfully and powerfully released into a future better than you ever imagined!
