What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my extensive experience in social work, particularly in crisis intervention and mental health treatment, while contributing to a supportive and growth-oriented environment.

With over 15 years of experience in clinical social work, I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate support and effective treatment for individuals facing mental health challenges. My expertise encompasses crisis intervention, suicide prevention, and comprehensive assessments, ensuring that clients receive tailored care that meets their unique needs.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various capacities, including as a Hybrid Therapist and Remote Therapist, where I utilized virtual therapeutic techniques to connect with clients. My background also includes significant roles in educational settings, where I taught and mentored future leaders in theology and social work. I am passionate about empowering individuals and families, fostering resilience, and promoting mental wellness within communities.
