Experience

I began my clinical experience with brain injury survivors and their families.  From there I counseled victims of crime, abuse and severe trauma in a non-profit setting. Then I transitioned to supportive outpatient clinician for individuals with addictions and dual diagnoses. For the last nine years, I've has my own private practice where I'm grateful to have counseled hundreds of clients with diverse needs. 

When I'm not working, I often provide social services in our community. I volunteer teaching summer camps, serve on the crisis team for The Red Cross, and am an active leader in my local school district. I spend the rest of my time with her family and friends who brighten every day.
