My experience in Texas includes serving as a Director for three psychiatric hospitals where I managed inpatient/outpatient programs and intake/assessment services. I hired, trained, and retained staff, developed programs for adult and adolescent services, and worked closely with doctors and nurses. Before moving to the lone star state, I was a Counseling Supervisor at Phoenix House of the Mid-Atlantic where I created outpatient alcohol and drug treatment programs, supervised staff, and placed college interns. In the classroom, I have taught psychology in Texas at San Jacinto College, and in the D.C. area, I taught Abnormal Psychology at Mary Mount University.

Prior to this, I was the Director of Behavioral Health for one of the largest career fire departments in the country, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue. My responsibilities included counseling fire and law enforcement and their families, supporting and directing the chaplain, family support and crisis response teams, program development/management, and training and education on work-life issues. Because a number of our first responders are reservists or National Guard, we are one of the few departments in the country to have a program designed to assist them with their deployment, support them and their families while they are downrange, and aid them in the transition when they return to their homes and police or fire stations. It is one of the programs I have created and managed.
