As an introduction to my officiation for weddings, I would like to give an overview of my religious and spiritual background as well as my procedures in preparing for officiating at weddings.

I am an ordained Interfaith Minister. I have an interfaith and interdenominational practice and outreach.
I also provide nondenominational services for weddings and other religious or spiritual ceremonies. The individuals with whom I work are of varying denominations, creeds, philosophies and races.

My personal philosophy in doing wedding officiation is to provide a ceremony that is meaningful to the couple, with vows that are sacred and personal and by which the couple believe they can live. I encourage the active participation of the couple in writing the ceremony for that reason. I provide ideas and sample for ceremonies so that the couple can choose what fits their spiritual or philosophical belief system.

I always encourage, although do not require, premarital counseling for couples before embarking upon the decision to join in union or marriage. Since I am a trained pastoral counselor and a licensed clinical professional counselor, I can also offer these services!
