I am a long-time resident in Rochester, MN, and have always had a strong interest in helping people.
I earned a Master of Divinity degree from Bethel Theological Seminary in St. Paul, MN, and a Master of Science degree in counseling from Winona State University in Winona, MN. I was an active clergyman for 20 years. One of those years was as Resident Chaplain at Midway Hospital in St. Paul, MN.
Upon completion of my MS degree in counseling, I completed an internship at a community counseling center in Rochester under the supervision of Dr. Gravett, MD.
In September of 1992, I resigned as Pastor of Care at a local church and became a full-time marriage therapist. I had already earned my license as a Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT).
