REV. DAVID SILVA HOWELL
Associate MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPist
With a background in ministry (MDiv) and end-of-life & other chaplaincies, I offer a unique, but broad spectrum of care: Couples and individual counseling, support in life and career changes, caregiver fatigue, grief support, trauma and crisis, dependency, veteran support, adoption, and multicultural considerations. Born in Sacramento and the son of a pilot, my travels and ministry took my family and me to the Caribbean to a very diverse environment and congregation. Also, I have an adopted son in connection to mission journeys to Central America. Over the years, I spiritually counseled many couples for marriage. I am a sojourner who has experienced the numerous “waves of life.” Associate MFT# 130718
