I have been working in the behavioral health and counseling field for over 34 years. I enjoy what I do, and I value being available to you. It is a gift to me in this capacity and I have never dreaded Monday mornings. I am one of the few private practice clinicians available to work with individuals experiencing some of the most intrusive, uncomfortable and unwanted experiences. I can help individuals struggling with psychosis related to schizophrenia, substances and other circumstances. In my part of my documentary “Crazywise” www.crazywisefilm.com , I am an advocate for needed changes in the treatment of mental illnesses in the United States. There are reasons for- and I believe meanings- behind the symptoms of one’s experiences. The concept of a broken brain seems to not be helpful or accurate. I have experience as a counselor, manager, and a trainer in the private sector, and in community mental health programs in Oregon, Missouri and Washington.
