~Professional Experience~
My career as a mental health professional began over twenty (25) years ago.
It has encompassed working in private and non-profit organizations, in the public sector for program-specific projects, and in private practice.
I have offered mental health services to diverse populations of all ages -in English and in Spanish, ranging a myriad of ethnicities, and a multiplicity of nationalities and religious practices. Diversity and cross cultural relationships are indeed among my highest clinical interests. Currently, I focus my clinical efforts on individual adults 18 and older.
My graduate education took place at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro -consistently ranked the top Graduate Program in its field in NC, and among the seven (7) best in the US- where I completed a sixty-six (66) credit hour Master's in Counseling Degree in December 1996.
Prior to graduation from the Master's program, I was inducted into Chi Sigma Iota, National Counseling Honor Society.
Thereafter, I have attained the following post-Master's Professional Credentials:
- National Certified Counselor #46941 (National Board) 1996
- Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor #3407 (NC) 1999 (Formerly termed "Licensed Prof. Counselor")
- Approved Clinical Supervisor # ACS00729 (National) 2008 (On "Retiree" status since Aug. 2024 due to overlap with LCMHC-S scope of practice)
- Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor #S3407 (NC) 2010 ​
I have received extensive Post-Graduate training at the Psychoanalytic Center of the Carolinas via semester-long courses focused on the practice of psychotherapy from a Psychoanalytic Theoretical and Clinical orientation.
Clinical case consultations with specialized senior clinicians, have also been an integral aspect of this solid, high quality training.
