I work at CCHCI because of the strong mission statement that promotes positive change in people’s lives. “Health Care for all” is not just treating a person’s medical needs. To me is about promoting wellness for the whole person that includes the physical, mental, social, and environmental needs of the our members. I strive to work as a team member in providing solution focused, person centered and evidence based mental health services for our members to promote a stronger healthier individual.
I was born and raised in Illinois and, as a military spouse for over 23 years, my family and I had moved frequently and found ourselves making our final move to AZ in 2006. I have two daughters and now five grandchildren. When my youngest child moved on to college, I returned to school in 2007 to complete my Master’s degree at University of Phoenix in Tucson , AZ in Community Counseling.
I have had the opportunities to work with person’s from all walks of life: Employment Specialist/ Case manager for the mentally and Developmental Disabled Adults; Social Service Director in multiple skilled Nursing facilities, juvenile Probation Officer with youths ages 9-17; Counselor for an adult inpatient treatment facility for substance abuse and severely mentally ill; Community counselor working with all age groups and diagnoses in members’ homes and or community.
I believe in using a person centered approach to therapy using a solution focus method that best promotes progress with the individual. I have training in the following therapy approaches: person center, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, Eye movement desensitization Reprocessing, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, solution focus and psychotherapy.
