I have over 20 years of clinical experience across a variety of settings, including inpatient and outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment, hospice, managed care, case management, psychiatric emergency services, crisis intervention, non-profits, and private practice.

I am particularly concerned with the impact of loss and trauma and improving interventions to support trauma recovery.
