We know personally the challenges of healing and building at the same time, which is why this work matters so much to us.

Rooted in real life

Our story — the short version

Healing and building at the same time.

We’ve been married for 14 years and are raising four boys (including twins!)

Both of us carry stories of childhood trauma, dysfunction, grief, and the kinds of wounds that do not stay neatly in the past. We’ve experienced firsthand the painful ways those stories can shape marriage, parenting, and family life.

Early in our relationship, those patterns affected us deeply - almost to the point of unraveling our marriage. Over time, we’ve had to rebuild our marriage and family culture from the ground up without a healthy model to start from.

We are still growing and still learning, but today we have a marriage and family life we genuinely enjoy and would be proud for our children to model.

The framework behind our name

What Does “Integrated” Mean to Us?

It means healing without denying the past, living faith in real life, building as a connected family team, and aligning daily life with the legacy we hope to leave.

Integrated Healing

We heal and integrate our past wounds so they no longer control our daily lives and relationships without ignoring how it shaped our story. We can hold the tension of healing and hurt.

Integrated Faith

Faith becomes real life, which contains nuance, questions and wrestling - not just subscribing to abstract beliefs. We weave our walk with God into the fabric of our life.

Integrated Family

Building a marriage and family that work as a connected team rather than as disconnected individuals living under the same roof. We build with generations in mind.

Integrated Life

Living in alignment with vision, values and mission through our work, service and life choices that fuel the next generation.
