I am a state-licensed clinical counselor, author, and communicator whose work centers on emotional resilience, experiential sharing, and spiritual empowerment. I am the author of You Make Me Brave: Empowering the Shared Experience of Your Closest Relationships, a book designed to strengthen committed relationships through deeper emotional and spiritual connection. Would you like to grow? There's probably something here to help.
I do engage in speaking and presenting to large and small audiences, but--at heart--I enjoy being a clinician, specializing in relationship renewal and growth, psychological wellness, and spiritual formation through shared knowledge, productive collaboration, and the use of God-given abilities to share comfort. But the good news is those things feed my imagination.
That's why I also aim to impact lives through the power of the story. My stories of healing and transformation touch on many aspects of human struggles, including recovery from addiction and compulsive behaviors, overcoming interpersonal relationship challenges, healing from trauma, and embracing spiritual formation.
As you explore below, and throughout this site, you'll discover books that target the soul. My books are fiction and non-fiction, each one crafted to promote healing and growth. Feel free to dig deeper.

The RETRACE Protocol is a tool I created to help us support others who are hoping to avoid a relapse or another harmful behavioral choice. RETRACE stands for Restorative Empowerment Tool for Responding to Acute Compulsion- & addiction-centered Engagements. The tool walks a person through a series of questions designed to bring clarity to thinking, empowerment to volitional ability, and a sense of being cared for to a person who feels alone in their struggle. Most importantly, the tool is designed to promote the struggling person's innate ability to choose good outcomes for their lives.
Available for free, without obligation.
