“Throughout my studies I have attempted to respond to the changing demands in the field of psychology. The experiences that I gained while in the military, working with abused and neglected children, Juvenile delinquents, substance abuser and individuals with behavioral concerns has driven me in my pursuit to help others towards recovery. Each and everyone of us acts and reacts in a certain way to a given situation. Each individual is unique having their own set of needs, wants and desires. While we have many commonalities, we are still unpredictable because of our uniqueness.”
