The process of starting my practice in TC was both a leap of faith and a carefully calculated endeavour.  When I moved to Traverse in June 2014 it was both to come back to the place where I was raised and to find a place where I could combine my efforts in several areas of counseling to best fit my own professional goals.  I really wanted to find a way to combine my clinical experience, my research experience, and my natural desire to help people.  

I have worked in several settings, most recently for the University of Pennsylvania in their Treatment Research Center, which is one of the foremost addiction research programs in the country.
