About
I have 31 years working experience in behavioral healthcare and K-12 education. I am dually licensed both as a mental health counselor and a school adjustment counselor. I have held positions as a director overseeing adolescent residential treatment programs and a therapeutic day school, agency clinical director, substance abuse specialist, clinical program manager in adult addiction and recovery, school therapist, and various direct care service provider roles in the public school systems and behavioral healthcare space. Experience working with children, adolescents and families as well as adults. Client issues include substance abuse, stress, trauma, family conflict, adjustment and transition planning, risk behavior and behavioral addictions, self-esteem, coping skills building, parenting, anxiety, depression, bipolar other mental health disorders. I do a lot of work with individuals and families struggling with problematic substance use - including alcoholism and other drug addiction. However, I am not able to take on clients who are currently in the throes of active addiction, as the appropriate level of care for these individuals is higher than outpatient treatment.
