I earned my Master's Degree in Religious Studies while also working on my Master's Degree of Marriage & Family Degree at Southern California Seminary.

I utilized this degree, incorporating faith based therapy as an additional tool to help clients who wished to have this option during our sessions.

During my time a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, I earned over 3000 hours supervised experience working with clients as a volunteer to a non-profit organization. I worked with clients until March 2020.
