To work with me is to have someone on your side who is committed to working with you to achieve the goals you seek and desire. I will encourage you, challenge you, and provide you with the resources and inspiration for your journey. I will bring the very best of my gifts and graces in every session we meet.

My counseling experience consists of forty plus years of pastoral counseling in local church settings in the Caribbean, Central America, and the USA. I have also done several years of counseling with children, teens, and their families in the delivery of Behavioral Health Rehabilitative Services.

My academic and professional studies in theology, logotherapy, family therapy, gerontology, human sexuality, and grief counseling, have been spread over several institutions, including the United Theological College of the West Indies, Jamaica; Christian Theological Seminary, IN; Council for Relationships, Philadelphia, PA; the Graduate Theological Foundation, South Bend, IN; the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy, TX; Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ; and the American Academy of Clinical Sexologists, Orlando, FL.

I bring to the work I do, a rich and varied skill set drawn from clinical training (family theories, logotherapy, narrative therapy, REBT, CBT, etc.,) and pastoral education (our human brokenness and need of healing, grace, forgiveness, etc.,) which together guide how my assessment and application of interventions to each situation, is pursued.

Individual sessions of 50 minutes duration = $100.00

Couple sessions of 50 minutes duration = $130.00

The duration and cost of family sessions is by consultation and agreement between family and provider.
