Work HistoryI began my counseling career in 1989 at Charter Hospital of Mobile, a private psychiatric hospital, managing the Intake/Crisis Office. One of my favorite activities during my time at Charter was hosting a weekly, live call-in radio talk show. It was during my second year at Charter that I founded a private practice that ultimately grew to nine therapists and two offices in southern Alabama. I led this practice for 17 years and during this time, I embarked on a PhD in Clinical Psychology at Walden University. As a part of this program, I completed an Internship at Larned State Hospital where I was the Unit Psychologist for the Competency to Stand Trial Unit. In 2008, I was offered an opportunity to live and work in Australia. I left my practice and made the move to Brisbane, Queensland where I worked for Disability Services Queensland writing behavior plans for intellectually disadvantaged adults with challenging behaviors. After a year down under, I returned to the US and settled in Dallas, Texas and was there for 10 years. I established a private practice there and for the last 6 ½ years there I conducted psychiatric evaluations in the emergency room for Texas Health Resources. In 2019, I moved to California and eventually settled in the East Bay of San Francisco where I work remotely in private practice. I continue my work in East Africa and have a particular interest in assisting a Village Health Team in westen Uganda. In addition to providing therapy to clients in the states of California, Texas, Kansa, and Alabama, I offer telehealth to clients in Rwanda and the Ukraine.
