About Me
I am a licensed National Certified Addiction Counselor, Level II (NCAC II). My certification is through the National Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (NAADAC). In addition, I am DOT qualified to provide services as a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). My most recent SAP training was through SAPList.com and the Qualification Exam was administered by NAADAC.
Prior to becoming a licensed counselor, I had 30 years in government service. In 2001, I received my Chemical Dependency certification. Since then, I have worked in a progressive number of positions providing professional drug and alcohol services in Western Washington. My clinical experience in the chemical dependency field includes my having worked as a treatment counselor at both inpatient facilities and outpatient treatment agencies, an inpatient treatment admissions specialist and as the clinical director at a private treatment agency. My primary direction as a counselor was group and individual work with adults and as an assessor.
In 2005, I moved into private practice as a DOT qualified SAP with my main office located in Lynnwood, WA. The focus of my work is to provide substance abuse assessments to employees subject to the Department of Transportation drug and alcohol regulations and to non-DOT employees subject to company drug free workplace requirements. To date, I have completed over 3,800 cases.
