What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a training-forward clinical role where I can conduct neuropsychological assessments and provide evidence-based, culturally responsive psychotherapy within an interdisciplinary team, supporting patients and families across the lifespan.

I’m a PsyD student in Clinical Psychology (APA-accredited) with extensive pre-doctoral extern experience delivering comprehensive neuropsychological and psychosocial care. In pediatric psychosocial oncology, I conducted neuropsychological assessments, provided individual and group psychotherapy, and collaborated with oncology teams to support whole-person treatment adherence and communication.

In clinical neuropsychology, I perform adult and older-adult assessments, including cognitive screenings and detailed report writing that integrates medical history, psychosocial factors, test results, and imaging impressions. I also bring a strong foundation in oncology support and stress-informed care through roles coordinating grief and family groups, providing solution-focused brief therapy, and training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Psychological First Aid.
