Rick’s background includes pastoring a Bible church for eight years, providing
vocational rehabilitation services in the state of Oregon, teaching in private
Christian schools, and working at various summer camps. Rick earned a
bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling. He is also
an ordained minister of the gospel through the Assemblies of God. Rick enjoys
family time, dates with his wife, writing poetry, and backpacking. His two oldest
sons and he once hiked all the way across Oregon together, from California to
Washington. His family roots run deep: He and his wife Patty have eight children
who are a joy to them.
Rick believes passionately that the best way to counsel is “looking to Jesus, the
author and finisher of our faith” (He 12:2). Accordingly, he has made it an ongoing
practice to study the life of Christ and how he ministered to and counseled others.
Such a methodology introduces an eternal, purposeful direction throughout the
process of counseling. He also believes God will meet with people where they
are, no matter at what point they are in their journey, or whether they are a believer
or not.
"His grace truly is sufficient in our weakness."
