Work HistoryThroughout the years I have worked with a multitude of clients of various ages, races, and backgrounds. I have worked with clients in various phases of mental illness which has offered me a full spectrum of experience over the past 20+ years. It’s my pleasure and life’s work to educate and assist those who are in the grips of poor mental and emotional health. I’ve worked in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospitals, low-income clinics, non-profit mental health centers, and private practice. This work history has allowed me contact with various clients. Thus, asking me well rounded and giving me great experiences in meeting my clients where they are in life.
