My expertise is working with children, adolescents, adults within individual and family therapy with symptoms related to mood disorders. I assist others with parenting issues, behavior modification, grief/bereavement, family conflict, blended family dynamics, and trauma. I have at least 15 years of work experience in the mental health profession expanding various work settings to include private counseling agencies, multi-facet
clinical healthcare, intensive in-home/family preservation, group home clinical/supervision, multisystemic therapy, in-home & in-office therapy. My orientation to counseling is based on systems theory, and family systems therapies like Structural therapy and Strategic Family Therapy. I also employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT as needed), Person-Centered Therapy, Reality Therapy and techniques associated with the models. I enjoy spending time outside of work with my beloved wife Nikky of 17 years, and our three wonderful children, Mannie (14), Zariya (12), and Josiah
(10). I am Christian who believes in Jesus Christ and I follow biblical teachings which guides and directs my life.
