Introduction

My career began in the juvenile justice system, where I worked in case management with adolescents and their families. Those youth were some of my greatest teachers, helping me develop a nonjudgmental and empathetic approach that continues to guide my work today. I officially started my clinical practice as a school-based therapist, supporting middle school students while completing my graduate studies at Brandman University in 2019. In 2020, I transitioned into a management role at an outpatient adolescent treatment program, where I provided programmatic support to treatment counselors and associate clinicians, ensuring the delivery of high-quality services for youth struggling with substance use. In this role, I also facilitated family therapy and parent support groups, deepening my skills in working with families as a whole. Alongside this, I began part-time private practice work with adults experiencing mild to moderate symptoms, which broadened my clinical range. Most recently, I have gained meaningful experience serving military veterans, particularly those coping with PTSD and substance use challenges. Mi carrera comenzó en el sistema de justicia juvenil, donde trabajé como manejador de casos con adolescentes y sus familias. Esos jóvenes fueron algunos de mis mejores maestros, ya que me ayudaron a desarrollar un enfoque empático y libre de juicios que continúa guiando mi trabajo hasta hoy. Inicié oficialmente mi práctica clínica como terapeuta escolar, apoyando a estudiantes de secundaria mientras completaba mis estudios en la Universidad de Brandman en 2019. En 2020, asumí un puesto como supervisor de un programa de tratamiento para adolescentes con problemas de sustancias, donde brindé apoyo programático a consejeros y clínicos asociados, asegurando la prestación de servicios de alta calidad para jóvenes que luchaban con el consumo de sustancias. En este rol, también facilité terapias familiares y grupos de apoyo para padres, fortaleciendo mis habilidades para trabajar con las familias en su conjunto. Al mismo tiempo, comencé a trabajar en una práctica privada de medio tiempo con adultos que presentaban síntomas leves a moderados, lo cual amplió mi rango clínico. Más recientemente, he adquirido una valiosa experiencia atendiendo a veteranos militares, en particular aquellos que enfrentan el trauma y desafíos relacionados con el consumo de sustancias.
