My goal was to develop a strong foundation of methodologies to apply therapeutically for individuals and groups. As for my professional training, my practicum, internship, and postdoctoral work were in three different settings (private practice, county outpatient, and corrections) to acquire a diversity of applied knowledge and practice in my field.
Personally, I have an array of diverse experiences in life and work, e.g., limousine drive, bartender, security, retail, etc…where I have acquired practical skills as well. Through my volunteer experience as a victim advocate, working for state corrections, a mental health institute, and private practice, I have experienced the evolving and complexity of emotional and behavioral wellness. Therefore, I will be able to offer you an array of experience and knowledge.
A Final Word
I look forward to meeting you and working with you in the near future.
