If you are looking for affordable pre-engagement or pre-marital therapy, please consider my counseling services to help you prepare for the second most important decision of your life. Research* shows that couples investing in pre-marital counseling increase marital satisfaction, lower divorce rates, and decrease relational conflict.
After having worked both as a licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice for the past 30 years and having consulted in Focus on the Family’s Counseling Services department for almost as long, my attention is now being focused to provide men and women balanced and biblically-based premarital counseling.
In addition, I will be working with pastors, offering emotional check-ins for a brief number of sessions to address wholistic needs in a Christ-centered manner.
Rosemead School of Psychology is where I received an MA in marriage and family therapy. I have been blessed with the privilege of being happily married to Elizabeth for the past 35 years, and we have three adult children.
