Substance Use Disorder Program Manager
There is hope for every patient. They come to us from a position of hopelessness. We cannot “fix” anyone, we are simply tour guides. It is our responsibility to provide a safe environment where we can meet them where they are at and gently, but firmly guide them down the path of hope, healing, and recovery.
I began my career in substance use in 1998. Over the years, I have worked with adults and adolescents in community, residential, outpatient and correctional settings. Regardless of my role (Technician, Driver, Counselor, Director), I have always been passionate about recovery. I feel honored to have spent my career helping others in achieving their goals for improved quality of life and lasting recovery. In my current role at Canvas Health, I am afforded the unique opportunity to mentor other professionals and in that way, I am able to continue to provide high quality care to the clients we serve.
