In early 2022, I opened a private practice. In 2023, I also entered the world of community mental health, working in homes, schools, and wherever else I was called to serve, to help those battling severe mental illnesses and co-occurring disorders. And in 2024, I received my full counseling license and transitioned my solo practice into a group. I also decided to secure my CAADC – having found a passion for substance use counseling along the way – as well as an NPT-C certification.
