At times, we all face trauma,crisis and challenges that influence our relationships with family and significant others. Many times these challenges, trauma or crisis leave profound emotional scars and pain that affect our performance and ability to cope and to function in a more healthy and productive way. I have good listening skills and a good sense of humor, which make my clients feel relaxed and comfortable.
I am problem focused and sensitive to my clients' needs. I strongly believe that the relationship between the client and the therapist is a partnership. Working together as a team, we can find solution for healing and hope.
I am a Christian-Pastor Licensed Clinical Social Worker Board certified. I enjoy helping my clients heal emotional scars that cause them pain, and despair. I also assist my clients in developing healthy coping skills to better themselves and to foster healthy emotional and personal growth.
