Counselor
**CURRENTLY NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS** I hold myself to the highest ethical standards, putting the safety of my clients as number one priority. The therapeutic relationship is vitally important and something I value in order to earn the trust and respect of my clients. I received my certification (National Certified Counselor) in 2000, chemical dependency counseling certification (CCDCT in 1999; CCDCIII and ICADC in 2001), and licensure as a professional counselor (LPC) in 2003 (South Dakota). Currently licensed in Oklahoma as LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), LADC (Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor), & ICAADC.
I believe in using the 12 Steps as a "way of life" not only for "addictions" but for anyone. My passion is working with "addicts" however I have experience and ability to work with anyone suffering from some sort of "dis-ease" in their lives.
I've been a dual diagnosis/co-occurring (mental health & substance abuse) counselor since 1999. I have extensive experience working with addictions and believe in trauma-informed services. I am Board-approved to provide licensure supervision for LPC and LADC in Oklahoma.
