Having a personal past with substance abuse, mental health, trauma and proud member of the LGBTQ community I understand firsthand the unique issues our community face. After working for 3 Fortune 100/500 companies I shifted to serve a personal passion in various areas of behavioral health, from inpatient crisis stabilization, and outpatient treatment to residential substance abuse and alumni community services. My personal and family experiences with behavioral health drive my commitment to helping others on their path to recovery. At The Recovery Village Columbus, I create awareness by establishing key relationships within companies and organizations throughout Central Ohio and beyond. I am most passionate about having the ability to work with clients and their families directly and being able to provide highly specialized treatment services for a variety of needs (adolescent, adults, eating disorders, first responders, etc.). At The Recovery Village Columbus, I aid in providing a forward-thinking approach to behavioral health services in the workplace by offering personalized client care from the first interaction.I welcome the opportunity to connect with anyone leading an organization, LGBTQ peers/advocates, and family members who are proactively seeking solutions to connect people into long-term treatment and recovery.
