"I desire for students to grow in their knowledge and love for God, the world, and themselves. Counseling provides an incredible opportunity to influence people's lives, and I consider it a high responsibility. I help students to become excellent counselors who are able to interact with the world to bring hope, healing, and redemption in difficult circumstances. That is the heart of the gospel."

A Defining Moment
"After college I spent some time in New Zealand volunteering. I was returning to Idaho and had a field botany job lined up, but otherwise did not know what I would do next. I visited a home for children, and something in my heart came alive. I developed a deep care for children who don’t have parents or experience injustice. As I drove a jeep through the Idaho desert, I asked God how he would use this passion, and an advertisement came on the radio for a wilderness therapy program for kids. That became my new job, and I soon realized that I wanted to pursue this by going to seminary and getting a counseling degree. I packed up my dog and my things, and moved to Oregon. I am amazed at how that small experience put me on a path toward counseling, teaching, and helping others grow."
