Houston, Texas, United States

Here, I have been leading and facilitating outpatient drug recovery groups for adults that are currently on probation. My groups have primarily been following the criteria of Changing Lives and Changing Outcomes (CLCO) and Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions, Substance Use and Abuse (CBI-SUA). My primary role has required me to lead and facilitate Aftercare groups for people who were recently discharged from the secured residential facility Dual-Diagnosis Rehabilitation Program (DDRP), in which each client has stayed for at least 5 months and been diagnosed with mental health disorders ranging from Major Depressive Disorder, to Bipolar Disorder, to Schizophrenia, and at least one substance-related disorder. During my time here, I have been working under the supervision of Adrianne Trevino, MA, LPC-S and Patricia Halley, MS, LPC-S.

Houston, Tx

Here, I received extensive training and certifications ranging from trauma-informed care, to basic pharmacology, to physical and mental health first aid and CPR. From there, I held counseling sessions with a diverse group of Houston's individuals following the Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) manual. My clientele's diversity ranged in cultural demographics, socioeconomic backgrounds, and mental health struggles by means of trauma and psychopathology. During my time here, I remained under the supervision of Glen Hilton, MS, LPC-S, LMFT-S.

My graduate practicum and internship were both spent at HCJPD, spanning throughout my final year of my MA pursuit. There, I shadowed and worked with counselors, psychologists, and social workers employed by HCJPD and was supervised directly by the department's LPC-S. Official training alongside my classes and the needed hours included specific training associated with the age demographic (ages 10-17), sexual abuse and PREA (the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003), complex trauma, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Trauma-Based Relational Intervention. I also did supplemental reading on trans-generational trauma and its effect on low-income children and youth of color and sociological studies on the culture of punishment perpetuated onto children and youth of color by the criminal justice system during this time in order to be more culturally and contextually informed about the those whom I was serving.

Marble Falls, Tx

I was the counselors' pastor, a sermon-giver, worship team leader, all-around encourager, CPS communicator, photographer, and the person who was there to help in any other way that was needed. Flexibility was imperative, and that along with my previously-obtained skills in ministry and worship leading were needed to help keep the camp afloat all summer.

Houston, Texas Area

I took phone calls (and then online chats and emails) from customers of two of the biggest men's clothing brands in the country. Through this job, I was able to learn how to keep up with a fast-paced work environment and develop much-needed communication and organization skills.

Dallas/Fort Worth Area

This job allowed me to be thrown into the trenches of the sufferings of the human heart daily. I came in to the rooms of those who were sick or injured, and was beckoned to suffer with them. I prayed with them, encouraged them, and did my best to lead them to the light they needed in their darkest hours.

Fairfax, Virginia

Having grown up in a large suburban youth group, I had become familiar to an extent as to what all youth group interns did. Because of this, I was able to go about this position in a way that I feel had been needed when I was in youth group. While also focusing on regular summer events, I also strove to emphasize the need for social justice and serving those in need to the adolescents that I worked with.

Greater New York City Area

Living up to its name, my job here was to find unreached people in the heart of the diverse Bronx, New York, and find ways to tell them about Jesus. Our method was to seek out "People of Peace" who were open to hearing about things like this, and to build relationships with them. Mission work is slow and develops overtime, and so we had to learn how to be patient in the process, as we were only planting seeds rather than cultivating and harvesting new believers.
