DAN OAKLEY
Dr. Dan Oakley brings a thoughtful presence to every workshop he leads. As a committed Christian counselor, he weaves together biblical insight, emotional wisdom, and the kind of steady guidance that helps people feel safe enough to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface.

In his workshops, Dr. Oakley blends biblical reflection with practical emotional insight in a way that feels both grounded and accessible.
