I have been working as a mental health therapist since September 2000. My experience has been within substance abuse and dependence, severe emotional disturbance, and chronic medical problems. My passion is to work with those who may struggle with chronic medical illness such as diabetes, cardiac disease, or chronic pain. I also delight in working with those who struggle with various mood disorders. When I’m not listening, you will usually find me out on my small adult bike riding with friends, reading, scrapbooking, or traveling.
