Empowering Your Potential & Purpose

My life's work, which entails studying and meeting the mental health needs of families through therapy and counseling, was inspired by my previous 15 years of experience working in healthcare in a family practice environment. I focus on family systems, and by using a systematic, comprehensive approach to therapy, I hope to restore wholeness to families. For the past four years, my concentration has been on school-based mental health treatments that help children who are having difficulty with mental health issues, that are related to their education, flourish and prosper in their current surroundings. I've observed the negative effects on children from fatherless families as well as fathers who are overcoming obstacles to participate in family and educational decision-making.  My present research, which was part of my doctoral degree focuses on father-child connections. It involves advocacy and inclusion by promoting residential, nonresidential, and other father figure engagement by removing barriers.  My goal is to impart knowledge and empowerment by helping family members realize their true potential.
