I have sound experience in substance abuse, long-term care settings, outpatient, and acute inpatient settings with pediatric and adult populations. I have experience in all different areas, such as residential substance abuse, alcohol use disorder, inpatient geriatric psychiatry with dementia, and mental illness in the elderly. I have worked in inpatient care with patients as young as 5 years old and as old as 95 years old. I have worked with thousands of regular people who have regular life struggles and understand people on the human level not just the "medical" level.
