Over the ensuing decade, my career was largely centered in the outpatient community sector, culminating in my current private practice. My professional experience encompasses therapy with individuals, couples, and families. * Discovering that numerous clients I served were also battling physical health issues and co-morbid conditions, I decided to resign from my role as Clinical Director at a local community outpatient mental health center. This decision was made to pursue a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND) degree from the National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, IL.
