About

I started in the mental health field as a volunteer crisis counselor in 1989.  I have worked with all ages and populations since that time.  I hold a Doctor of Education in Counseling Psychology, am a licensed IL, MA, NH, NM, nationally certified as a Master Addiction Counselor, Certified Life, Leadership and Transformational Coach. My passion is helping individuals, couples, families, and organizations create environments to support healthy mental health, open communication, wellness, and dynamic exchanges.  I have advanced training and work with trauma, couples/family, mood disorders, addictions, OCD and anxiety disorders.

I see the therapeutic relationship as a partnership and would like to assist you on your journey to wellness, empowerment and peace.  Additionally, I have served as a consultant for organizations in need of support in their behavioral work.
