• "Almost immediately, Russ felt like someone I'd known for years, like an old friend. I felt totally comfortable and could be fully open and authentic without judgement. The dialogue was always helpful, positive, caring and refreshing when discussing anything, without feeling too heavy or serious even when the emotions could potentially be overwhelming. He is a stable and calming presence, helping you to walk through and process your emotions. He offers genuine concern for your well-being and a lighthearted perspective to help lift your spirit. I appreciate him very much!"

• "We owe immense gratitude to Russ. His faith-based approach to counseling navigated our new marriage's challenges beautifully. And it’s not just the counseling itself that is invaluable, but the little bit of work he assigns afterward that brings everything home. With his guidance, we've grown stronger as a couple. Russ isn't just a counselor; he's a force that nurtures individual growth and marital bonds."”

• "I needed a faith based counselor who was also realistic, and able to speak frankly about real life issues. I appreciate Russ’ ability to counsel directly, while also recognizing the need to connect his advice to the Faith.  Russ does not “go easy”, but challenges me to think and drive the changes that I need to make to overcome my weaknesses."
