Currently a Licensed Professional Therapist, Certified Co-Occurring Diplomat, National Certified Counselor, Certified Anger Management Specialist, CSTAS-Certified Shoplifting and Theft Addiction Specialist and President of Positive Pathways Counseling.

My treatment philosophy is quite eclectic with concentration on Cognitive Behavior Therapy, (CBT). My professional experience has been with clients suffering with depression and anxiety disorders, especially those with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, (OCD) by means of using Exposure Therapy. I have worked as a personal and academic counselor at a local University. I also work with clients with co-occurring disorders (mental health issues and substance abuse issues).
