Matthew understands the importance of strong families, strong youth, and treatment of addictions and trauma for a successful family structure and fulfilling life. Many who suffer trauma do not know how to recover and live a normal life, and many do not know the love and forgiveness of Christ, who can also heal all wounds.

As a Christian, he knows how powerful the Word of God is in all aspects of life, and the healing power it holds. He is passionate about spreading the gospel of Christ and learning how to counsel and heal others through counseling techniques and the Word of God.

Matthew takes health seriously. It is important to exercise and fast regularly so that one can remain in good health to better serve the Lord and serve others. Exercise and good diet habits are also essential for long-term health and wellness.

* As with other staff, Matthew does not receive a salary for his services but instead contributes 100% of the proceeds to make clinician development and member services accessible to everyone in the ICHTHYSroe community, when they are in need, according to their desire to grow in God’s purpose for them (ESV, Acts 20:35).
