Licensed premarital counselor, certified relationship coach, and ordained minister.
For over 32 years, I've dedicated my life to helping couples grow stronger, both personally and relationally. As a licensed premarital counselor and certified relationship coach, I bring extensive training in family dynamics, pastoral counseling, and professional ethics to every session. I work with couples in St. Cloud and Central Minnesota in person, and with couples across the continental United States in virtual sessions through Google Meet.
I believe every couple deserves a great match in their counselor and officiant. That's why I always start with a no-pressure meeting so we can see if we click. As your wedding officiant, I serve St. Cloud, Central Minnesota, and the Twin Cities metro with in-person ceremonies only.
