I am also cross licensed in the state of Nevada as a Clinical Professional Counselor (CPC #5262-R). I have been in the Substance Abuse field since 1996 working as an alcohol counselor in an outpatient setting and received my applied AAS degree in 1996 and went on to receive my BS in Community Health and Human Services with an emphasis on Grief and Gerontology. For many years, I worked in the criminal justice area of substance abuse and worked for Suffolk TASC and Drug Treatment Court until relocating to North Carolina from New York. After my move, I worked in various different types of SUD and Mental Health programs as well as domestic violence and sexual assault programs.
