Today can be the beginning of Change, “Let’s Get Started”. Are you feeling distressed and frustrated over having lost some or all control over gambling, shopping, obsessive & compulsive behaviors, sex, alcohol, cannabis, or other substances in your life or the lives of loved ones? Are you feeling despair, isolation, anxiety, loneliness or depression? Are you re-living past hurt & loss repeatedly? Have the continuing stressors of the pandemic driven a wedge between you and your spouse or significant other? Has the pandemic caused you social anxiety? “Stop waiting for tomorrow, let’s start the Healing Process Today”. My career in the behavioral health/substance use disorder industry began in 1997 at Foundations Sober Living Homes in San Diego, California which I owned for 10 years. Since that time, I returned to school in 2009 in order to fulfill my purpose in working with others. I earned my Associates Degree in Applied Sciences – Chemical Dependency at Rio Salado College, then I completed my Bachelor of Psychology at Grand Canyon University, and then a Master of Science in Addiction Counseling, also from Grand Canyon University. I’m happy to announce that I graduated with a second Masters degree in Professional Counseling from Ottawa University on 12/31/2021.I currently hold a LAC- Licensed Associate Counselor and LASAC- Licensed Associate Substance Abuse Counselor in the State of Arizona. I began my clinical career in 2008, when I moved to Arizona from San Diego and started working on the clinical side of addiction and behavioral health treatment. I’ve worked in several residential and outpatient treatment facilities across Arizona.
