In Person and Online Sessions 
I have worked in the area of social services for over 25 years. I am probably best known for my work in the field of addictions and anger management. However, I consider myself skilled in working with a variety of issues that plague our society today. Anxiety disorders, depression, and trauma-informed care are just a few.
My experience has been in community and private mental health and addiction programs, hospital settings, Employee Assistance Programs, private practice, and higher education. I have been told have a "calming demeaner".
