Wedding Officiants in La Jolla Village, CA

Hi! I'm a spiritually-inclined listener and communicator, compassionate nerd, and devoted family man. Since 2007, I have worked with youth and adults of various cultures. Whether spiritual direction, pre-marital counseling, or more general listening and care, I'm here to help you to connect with God, others, and/or yourself. My own faith is Christian in nature, but I accept clients of different-than-mine or no faith.
