Understanding human behavior and witnessing the power of faith in the struggles of people who strive to change is what drives me! For the last 23 years, I have worked with hundreds of clients of every conceivable age at mental health agencies, inpatient treatment centers, residential facilities, and minimum to maximum security prisons. I have sat with people in their darkest hour and worked with them as they allowed the Holy Spirit to transform their lives! Now I have moved into the next stage of my life, helping students to become the helping professionals God designed them to be.
