My professional work experience includes many avenues of experiences, included but not limited to; working with the children that are diagnosed with SEDs (seriously emotional disturbed), worked as a child abuse coordinator, work as a union negotiator for a union and for a city that negotiated union contracts for its employees, have taught religion for 12 years, teaching a class this spring at a local college on relationships, have experiences in understanding the LGBT population because of family ties and work experiences . I also have worked in a non-secure facility whose population, a ten bed facility, mainly was paranoid schizophrenics, bi-polar, and major depression. With these experiences I have my own private practice working with students and couples that have marital situation and other issues. I obtain my masters degree from Walden University and I am currently licensed as a LPC in the state of Minnesota.
