About
With 57 years of marriage and 46 years of counseling experience as a licensed, ordained pastor, I bring both real-life wisdom and practical insight to every couple I work with. When your marriage feels stuck, when communication is broken, when it feels like all you do is argue, I will give you the keys to restore love and peace into your relationship.
If you’re tired of surface-level advice and want real change rooted in God’s truth, I’d be honored to walk with you on the journey to a stronger, healthier marriage.

We highly recommend Steve if you are looking for a marriage counselor. I was reluctant to start counseling but knew it was time to learn how to improve communication skills as a couple. It was the BEST decision to start working with Steve. He has improved our communication skills and reminded us to appreciate each other for who we are. Thank you, Steve.

He has been really great to work with and has made a major difference in our marriage. He is a Christian and I believe that is the only foundation for a marriage and what you should look for in a marriage counselor.

Steve is an excellent counselor who has helped my spouse, and I work through various relational issues and challenges in our marriage. He brings a lifetime of experience with a godly approach that is both helpful and practical. We highly recommend Steve to any couples seeking to grow and work through their martial issues via a trustworthy and empathetic counselor.

Still working with him. This is too soon to submit a full endorsement and evaluation. Give us more time.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The fist introductory session is free and lasts about 30 minutes.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I want to listen to both sides and help them get to the real issues - not just the most recent fight. I also want both parties to agree to work on themselves rather than focus on trying to change the other person.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
