I'm Inspired and Impassioned About Assisting Others

I'm appreciative to have served women, men, children and families with substance abuse issues for over two and a half decades. During my career I have also had the pleasure of helping organizations, employees, and employers by providing addiction services in a professional manner and in a variety of settings.

As a graduate of West Coast of Institute of Addictive Studies Addiction Counseling program, I have earned three state, and one national addiction credential, throughout my career. I have over 56,000 hours 27 years) of counseling experience. I have been the Director of a startup of addiction treatment programs, Director of rehabilitation services at one of California’s mid-coastal Dually Diagnosed rehabilitation programs. I have provided consulting services to residential and outpatient programs. I have initiated and completed successfully family Interventions. I'm certain that when you are ready to have a discussion about making changes in your life, we together can create a substance abuse plan that will encompass the issues and develop enduring positive change.
