I'm here to serve you.  If you are an individual wishing to grow personally, a couple in distress or desiring growth, a parent, pastor, or counselor, my desire is to see you flourish. 

As a psychiatrist and a pastor, I have a unique perspective, bridging the gap between science and faith, illuminating practical ways to apply scripture and research to daily life and relationships. I love to use humor and analogies to make complex truths simple and impart wisdom for living well. 

I have learned much from my own struggles, from my private practice and ministry, and as a pastor at Woodlands Church, where I oversee counseling and recovery ministries.  I see the terrible impact of shame, anxiety, depression, and addiction.  I love watching the powerful and amazing transformations resulting from hard work, supportive relationships, and trust in God.

My wife, Teri, partners with me in prison ministry and in the workshops we lead. 

We want to honor our parents, to love our children well and prepare them for life. Good news! You don't have to be perfect and it's never too late to learn. 

Being a servant leader can be challenging.  Our videos and resources will equip you to be more effective as a pastor, counselor, sponsor, coach, or small group facilitator.

Habits that Help

We All Need to Grow 

 As a physician, psychiatrist, and pastor, I see every day how small changes can reap big rewards.  Every day is an opportunity to grow!

God is love and we are made to be like Him.  We are wired for connection, and growth occurs best when we are challenged and stretched in loving more.
