I specialize in evidence-based practices that are trauma-informed and client-centered. I believe that people can and do recover. I take an eclectic and person-centered approach in my recovery orientation. I have worked primarily in psychiatric and co-occurring facilities throughout my career, including in-patient detox, residential, psychiatric hospitals and correctional facilities. I bring my passion for underserved populations to work with me each day. My style is one of approachability and unconditional positive regard, meeting the individual wherever he or she is on the journey to recovery. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPCMH), a Licensed Chemical Dependency Professional (LCDP), and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). I hold a Master of Science (MS) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Villanova University.
