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, river
rafting, 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” (Hebrews 12:2). Accordingly, he has made it an ongoing
practice to study the life of Christ including 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 at whatever point they are in
their journey, whether they are believers or not. His grace truly is sufficient in our
weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
"A wise man will hear and increase learning" Proverbs 1:5 NKJ
