Professional Practice:
My research and practice interests are in substance abuse assessment, diagnosis and treatment.
My current research focus is on barriers and facilitators to treatment for dually diagnosed
women in jail. Specifically I am interested in substance abusing women who are diagnosed with
depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and or generalized anxiety disorders. I am active in
clinical and development work with Women's Re-Entry Network and facilitate a therapeutic support
group at the Cuyahoga County Corrections Center. I continue to have an interest in the
assessment and treatment of substance related disorders among older adults.
