As a licensed Advanced Nurse Practitioner in the State of Arizona, he has served in outpatient, residential and inpatient mental health centers in Tucson and throughout Arizona including rural mental health facilities in southeast Arizona.

His practice is in conjunction with psychologists, therapists, body workers and acupuncture practitioners to develop a holistic treatment plan and tools clients can use on their own to feel more empowered when dealing with stressors in life.
