Along with providing psychotherapy, I am also an Adjunct Professor of Social Work at California State University, Los Angeles, and a full-time employee with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health where I provide training and coaching for professionals working with foster care or probation involved youth. I have previous experience as an Integrated Behavioral Health Program Coordinator providing mental health services and crises interventions to adults, consultation and psychoeducation to medical residents, and engaged in a statewide study on aging and depression. Prior to my current positions, I have been a school based clinical therapist working with children and families and providing consultation and behavioral management techniques to educators, done hospice social work, been a case manager for individuals with development disabilities, drug rehabilitation, homeless services, a supported living services program coordinator for adults with developmental disabilities, and started off my career in social services as a special education teaching assistant. Outside of the field of social services and social work, I have worked at warehouses, machine shops, retail stores, been a truck delivery driver, done construction and demolition, and wrought iron welding while working my way through school.
