I have been working with mental health and
substance use population. My feelings are that as long as there is breath in
your body there is always hope. Over the years I have developed the following
qualities: strong clinical skills; working with dual diagnosis population;
ability to problem solve by gathering and analyzing information and handling
crisis situations and reacting appropriately. In addition, I have had over 20
years of supervising, training and mentoring staff. Outside of work I enjoy
spending time with my cat and dog. Most important is that I am close to my
family and I can spend time with them.
