I work with individuals, couples, and families with a wide variety of issues, including depression and other emotional difficulties, marital problems, family dysfunction, and spiritual struggles. As a pastoral counselor, I believe that spiritual and emotional health are inseparable, so my work involves the integration of faith dynamics along with the relational and psychological. Sometimes this is explicit, sometimes not (every person is, of course, unique, so what is helpful and appropriate for one may not be for another). I often work with people who desire to improve and grow their relationships with significant people in their lives. As a pastoral counselor as well as a longtime student of Bowen family systems theory, I have been a workshop leader on systems thinking and its application to congregational leadership in Alabama, Virginia, Mississippi, and in Cuba. I speak French and Spanish, neither with native fluency, but enough to work with persons who may not have mastered English. I have been with Samaritan Counseling Center, where I did my initial clinical training, for over 30 years and am Samaritan's Clinical Director.
