I am a dedicated mental health professional with experience in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of individuals struggling with mental health, substance abuse, and behavioral disorders. I have worked as a college counselor, worked in correction facilities, substance abuse/ dual diagnoses, sex offender treatment, and maternal mental health. I have owned Private Practices in North Dakota and currently in Michigan. I am adept at facilitating both individual, family, and group therapy. I establish therapeutic relationships with clients easily and have had experience deescalating clients in conflict resolution. I have worked with Hospice patients in their homes with and without family presence. My work has been with most all ages, including maternal services, sexual assault and trauma-related disorders. My treatment methods are usually based on the methods of CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing and solution-focused therapy.
