Personal Statement
I received my Master of Arts degree in Marital and Family Therapy from Alliant International University in 2010 and a Certificate in Alcohol and Drug Studies in 2008 from Saddleback College. My experience started while working as a counselor in residential alcohol and drug treatment centers in California where I provided individual and group treatment. Following the work in addiction, I moved into serving welfare clients through the CAL Works program offering individual, group, and family therapy.
Through my experience I have treated individuals and families with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, schizophrenia, and co-occurring disorders. I also work with couples to heal their relationships. My experience started while working as a counselor in a residential alcohol and drug treatment center in California where I provided individual and group treatment.
I have become experienced in working with non-traditional relationships and have become passionate about assisting these individuals as they struggle with their issues.
