I am a seasoned Licensed Counselor who has experience in both Behavioral Health and Substance Use Diagnoses. I am eclectic and diverse in my approach to individuals I work with. Working with active duty and military families for half of my career has given me experience with issues for this particular population. As a Marine Corps veteran, I certainly can relate to the struggles of veterans and families. As a civilian counselor, I have been successful in community mental health as a senior therapist. I first look to develop trust with those I work with, and I believe that change will occur with both hard work and enjoyment.
