I have worked in the field of mental health and wellness for the past 25 years. I remain passionate and diligent in helping individuals to discover their true sense of themselves and living/striving to their best potential. I believe in the dignity of the human spirit and treating all people with compassion and respect while promoting health, wellness, and healing from within. My treatment is focused on reducing the stigma of mental health, maintaining stability, promoting recovery and improving the overall quality of life. Despite their psychiatric difficulties, clients find that with support and treatment, they are able to manage their illness effectively and lead happy, rewarding, and creative lives. My 25 years of clinical experience also included the coordination of care and treatment with county agencies, hospitals, and primary care physicians. I have vast experience and knowledge in working with community resources, symptom and medication management, and crisis intervention.
