I have had the privililedge of working in dual diagnosis treatment facilities for more than 15 years.  My extensive experience, and passion for this work continue to grow, with the ever changing information and research in the fields of mental health and addiction.  I have worked at Sante Center for Healing for more than 2 years, and am currently working toward completion of my CSAT training, and work primarily with those struggling with problematic sexual behaviors.  Prior to this, I have worked in a variety of mental health and substance abuse settings.  I also managed a private practice for 14 years, offering individual and group sessions, and led couples communication intensives.  I am called to this work, and assisting individual in empowering themselves to become the authentic beings that they are, moving away from their maladaptive coping styles. 

I was licensed as a LPC in 1991, and am EMDR trained.  I seek opportunities for personal and professional growth, as this directly impacts my effectiveness in my work with patients.
