To become a Licensed Professional Counselor, I completed a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with over 700 hours of clinical experience and passed the National Counseling Examination. I then completed an additional 3,000 hours of supervised counseling under Michelle Silva Segura, LPC-S, LMFT-S, SEP. I also complete a minimum of 24 hours of continuing education every license renewal period, with specified focus on ethics and cultural diversity.

I am very committed to my constant growth personally, aka I see my own therapist regularly, and attend an emotional processing group, and professionally, meaning I am always involved in or planning for my next training or certification, or engaging in consultation.
