Areas of Expertise:
I specialize in serving clients with psychiatric and behavioral issues. After
spending more than 30 years working at Madison State Hospital, I have
acquired an extensive knowledge of a wide variety of mental health
problems. With this background I am able to recognize the symptoms
and behaviors associated with various mental disorders, and more
importantly, the most effective interventions and treatments for them.
While at Madison I helped to develop the behavior program for the GOLD
Unit, a Medicaid Certified Unit serving dually diagnosed developmentally
disabled adults. I have continued to work exclusively with this program
since August of 1983 and currently am responsible for completing
assessments and behavior support plans for two units which serve a total
of 30 adults.
