Message from Therapist

I am a cradle Catholic who has completed his sixth year of Deaconate formation in the Kalamazoo Diocese.  I have extensive counseling experience in working with adolescents (7th grade and above), but also enjoy working with adults, couples, and families.  

It has been my experience that most of our emotional problems occur from a lack of love. While there are certainly biological/psychological issues affecting behavior, the sacraments can also go a long way to healing our emotional wounds.

Please note: You do not have to be a "practicing" Catholic to benefit from my counseling services. I work with and respect all faith traditions and also those who are of a non-faith perspective.  I only apply Catholic/Christian faith-based counseling to those who request it.

Life is all about finding that balance between what we can control and what we can't. I would be happy to listen to you and help you find that balance.
