I started counseling in 1998 at an alcohol and drug abuse commission. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals a total of four years. I have worked with Brain Injury patients (TBI, Stroke and Cancer). I worked with Drug Court for seven years, counseling for addictions. I have had a private practice for 20 years, counseling individuals, couples and teenagers with an array of problems. I also work with teenagers.
I consider myself as an eclectic counselor which allows me to contour my counseling to which style is best for the client.
I would love to help you with your issues, so please select me as your counselor.
