What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical role providing direct therapy in a trauma-informed, collaborative setting where I can expand LMFT skills, contribute to client recovery, and grow toward clinical supervision.

I am a motivated, client-centered clinician specializing in substance use and mental health treatment, holding a CADC-II and pursuing a Master's in Clinical Psychology (LMFT track) at Pepperdine University. I bring hands-on experience across detox, residential, outpatient, and IOP settings, integrating trauma-informed care and evidence-based approaches such as CBT and strengths-based techniques.

I have delivered individual and group therapy, conducted comprehensive assessments, led crisis interventions, and completed utilization review and documentation across multiple treatment centers. I emphasize cultural humility, safety, and empathy while developing rapport and practical treatment plans to support client recovery and resilience.
