My Experience
For 30 years, I have been guiding people along the best pathway for their life - be it an individual, couple, parent, student, teammate or leader. Shaped by a Western PA, Irish Catholic upbringing, a recovery background, a Protestant spiritual renewal, a blessed and imperfect marriage, the death of one of my five children, a pastoral career, much failure and some success, my style is authentic and practical.
Schooled in a Bachelors of Science (Management) and a Master of Divinity (Pastoral Counseling), my use of psychology, neuroscience, career and life coaching, the enneagram, plus spiritual direction highly influence my approach and practice. My mode of guidance is done one to one, one to two, or in groups large and small.
In the end, I help people find their way.
“Discovering which way to go
or how to get through can
be overwhelming. I so enjoy supporting this challenging and refining journey with others.”

Client Reviews
“We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with you, especially since the pandemic began just after we wrapped up our sessions. I am convinced that since God mercifully allowed us to improve/repair our relationship during that window of time with you, we were able to survive the intense stress of the COVID season.”
“I appreciate your continued counsel and encouragement as you know the kind of personal battles we men can face from time to time, especially the pressures that exist between being a father, husband and business leader.”
“I just wanted to say thank you very much for a wonderfully encouraging and thoughtful VOWS workshop. My husband and I stumbled upon this marriage series. But, the points you hit on tonight really hit home. Thank you for sacrificing your time and for being so transparent with all of us.”
