I graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy with a Masters of Art in Addiction Counseling. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree, also from University of Detroit Mercy, in Addiction Studies. I have worked closely with the criminal justice system for the past 19 years. When I first started out I worked with court referred clients in an Outpatient Clinic. I have been able to diversify and worked in the prison system, where I started working with women in prison, and transferred to the RTP Program for 3 years. I Co-facilitated Domestic Violence and Substance Abuse Groups at Dickerson Facility in Hamtramck. I also facilitated a court referred Domestic Violence Group for 4 years. I have worked in Outpatient mental health and substance abuse clinics. I currently facilitate a Women’s Specialty Group for women in recovery from substance abuse at an Outpatient facility. I have been with Advanced Behavioral Health for the past 5 years and have facilitated groups that are focused on raising awareness and insight into the specific issues related to Substance Abuse, Retail Fraud and Anger Management.
