I have obtained a Master’s degree Sinocial Work (MSW) from the University of Michigan in 2003; later he earned his Licensed Independent Social Worker with a Supervisor designation (LISW-S). Carter, as he likes to be called, completed a three-year ministry program where he earned a diploma from Cornerstone Global School of Ministry with a concentration in Counseling and Deliverance. He has over 30 years of experience working with substance abuse, mental health, hospice, and vocational rehabilitation fields.
In our first sessions clients can expect to tell this counselor what brings them into counseling at this point in their lives, and how do they expect this counselor to help them moving forward.
I feel my greatest strength is active listening and having empathy for the people I serve.
I love working adolescents and adults who are recovering from traumatic events and life situations, and who still struggle to make a better life for themselves.
