Graduate student and counselor specializing in substance use recovery.

What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my counseling skills in a supportive environment, focusing on recovery and mental health improvement.

I am a dedicated graduate student and counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals facing Substance Use Disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. My work at a substance abuse rehabilitation center has equipped me with the skills to facilitate therapeutic interventions, group counseling, and individualized treatment planning, all aimed at promoting recovery and resilience.

In addition to my counseling expertise, I am proficient in implementing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to support children with Autism and learning disabilities. I have a strong commitment to enhancing their social, emotional, and behavioral skills. My approach is characterized by strong interpersonal skills, adaptability, and a compassionate demeanor, which I believe are essential in fostering meaningful progress for my clients.

Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations, developing healthy coping mechanisms and leveraging my clinical expertise to improve lives. I thrive in both team-oriented and independent settings, always aiming to make a positive impact in the lives of those I serve.
