Background

I am a licensed, ordained pastor and a graduate of Bethel Seminary, holding a Master of Arts in Theology.

Since 2009, I have served as the pastor of Communitas Twin Cities, a non-denominational church in St. Paul dedicated to serving individuals experiencing homelessness, poverty, and life crises. Over the past 24 years, I have had the privilege of mentoring individuals in their faith journeys, leading small groups, and walking alongside people through some of life's most difficult seasons.

My own journey through significant personal challenges, combined with years of pastoral ministry, has given me both empathy and perspective. I provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where people can honestly share their struggles, ask difficult questions, and seek God's wisdom together.

Whether you are facing grief, relationship struggles, life transitions, spiritual questions, or simply feeling stuck, I offer pastoral counseling grounded in biblical truth, practical guidance, and genuine compassion. My desire is to help you find hope, healing, clarity, and a deeper awareness of God's presence as you navigate life's challenges.

People often tell me I'm easy to talk to. My role isn't to have all the answers—it's to listen well, ask thoughtful questions, offer biblical perspective, and walk with you as you discern God's direction and experience His healing.
