Hi there! The one term that embodies everything I do is “person-centered,” staying away from cookie cutter approaches and one-size-fits-all solutions. With over twenty years of experience in the behavioral health field, I bring a wealth of clinical skills to my daily work. I have experience and training in evidence-based approaches and practices for mental health and substance use disorders including Assertive Community Treatment, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills, Motivational Interviewing, and Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders. As a Social Worker, the various roles I have been fortunate to fill include case manager, clinical supervisor, clinical director, consultant, trainer, and university professor.
