I started my career in Human Service work in 2003 working with Co-occurring Disorders and Mental Health. I have worked in every Level Of Care for mental health treatment throughout my career in psychiatric Hospitals and non-profit settings. I have worked with adults and adolescence and numerous special populations including Veterans, LGBTQ+, Parolees, Domestic Violence Victims, and Unhoused. I organized and developed one of the first Police Assisted Recovery Programs in California as a contracted Social Worker, aiding the Officers in the field and on calls. I use Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral approaches and believe in the healing power of humor and connection.
