Experience

Prior to joining the Claremont Counseling and Support Center, David was an intern at California Baptist University, at several non-profit Counseling Centers, and also worked for the Riverside Unified School District with youth in conflict. David has run youth groups, co-chaired domestic violence groups, worked with adolescents, individuals, public servants, clergy, educators, couples, families, victims of crimes, depression, anxiety, and with forensic populations. While working in the Inland Empire as an Intern for the last three years, I am relatively new to Chino Hills.  My diverse experience includes internships at non-profit organizations, private practice, school sites, and at California Baptist University in providing psychotherapy to students, children, adolescents and families. I have a unique approach in my work by recognizing the cultural, environmental and personality of the individual and strengthening those relationships with my clients to ensure a better quality of life. I am currently interning at Stay Designated Incorporated and seek the opportunity to serve you and our community.
