Professional Background

In 2015, I interned in a community health center and a residential treatment program for inmates while working on my degree. While there, I became a Certified Anger Management Specialist and began working with clients who were court-ordered to receive Anger Management. I also worked a lot with clients who had traumatic histories, as well as substance abuse issues.

After graduation in 2016, I opened my practice and worked under supervision in a church counseling center. It was here that I began working with wives of sex addicts and those who had experience sexual traumas.

That same year, I also began working at a substance abuse center, leading intensive outpatient groups and providing substance abuse education classes.

After obtaining my license in 2019, I continued to operate my private practice and focus on the areas of sexuality, trauma, addiction, and anger. I have obtained my Certified Partner and Trauma Therapist certification and Rainbow Advocate and Educator certification.

I am concurrently working on obtaining my Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and Mindfulness-Based Addiction and Trauma Therapist certifications. After obtaining those certifications, I plan to work on my doctorate in clinical sexology.
