Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist
"Send me where people are suffering and let me minister your love" has been my prayer since I was a teenager. I received my Masters in Christian counseling from Oral Roberts University back in 1996 and I have continued to minister and to teach since that time, feeling the calling of the Lord to love, pray, influence, teach and counsel others with the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Although my doctorate is in Family Psychology and I incorporate counseling tools, I believe that ultimate healing comes from Love.
