About

After working with individuals experiencing a wide range of difficulties for nearly thirty years, I decided to pursue a degree in counseling and become licensed to work independently. I graduated from Walden University in May of 2014 with a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Trauma and Crisis. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC, Certificate Number 338969), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, 11015), and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS, License #21026).
