My involvement with ADAA comes from a personal commitment to help the clients. I'm a functional therapist, meaning I want to help people function in their inner world, outer world, and interpersonal relationships.
In the commitment to help clients, I'm hunting for language and personalized tips to meet the nuanced needs of people. I enjoy listening to other clinicians as they navigate the same educational materials and training - and finding ways to build bridges between theory and practical patient help.
ADAA is a central hub for me to meet up and connect with other providers committed to high standards of practice, ethics, and service delivery.
