The Lee County Counselors’ Association awarded me with a Certificate of Appreciation for my outstanding counseling service both in the community and their schools. I also appeared on WinkTV after 9/11 talking about “Grief and Loss.”
During the aftermath of 9/11, I facilitated group meetings for members of the community. I also presented to other professionals an educational seminar “Coping with Terrorism.” During this same period, I volunteered with the American Red Cross to offer my counseling services.
