Faith and Learning

It is an incredible blessing to join the faculty at CCU, to be given the honor of mentoring students to integrate their personal faith and identity in Christ with their emerging professional identity. The counseling profession seeks to facilitate healing and transformation, processes that align with Christ’s desire for us. My hope is to walk alongside counselors in training as we allow God’s word to inform the process of learning.
