After 16 years of working for someone else I have decided it is time to get out on my own. I am licensed by the state of Texas as a chemical dependency counselor and most recently worked for Helping Open People's Eyes, Inc in Cleburne, TX providing substance abuse services to felony offenders in the Johnson County Corrections Center. I have an established reputation in the area and I have an extensive list of recommendations from previous coworkers, employers, and others in the community. Before coming to Texas I worked in Southern California in several capacities with regard to substance abuse clients. I have done substance abuse education, substance abuse prevention, individual, and group counseling since 1997. I have worked in residential treatment, outpatient clinics, alternative sentencing programs, drinking driver programs, and the state prison at Norco, CA. This wide array of experience uniquely qualifies me to work with most client issues whether individual or families.
