It’s not that I haven’t been doing counseling for over 30 years — I have. This new adventure, however, is different.

Since graduating from Abilene Christian University with my masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, all of my counseling work — whether in private practice, helping with churches, or working for other clinics — has been part time.  For many years, I worked full-time in other jobs, in order to support my family and assist my wife during her struggle with chronic pain (read her story here). With my cancer journey (I get cancer every 30 years), I needed to continue to work towards good retirement and health plans.
