Aspiring clinical psychologist dedicated to mental health and patient care.

United States

What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to support patients with mental health challenges, focusing on collaboration and growth within a compassionate team environment.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s of Science degree in Clinical Psychology, building on my Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology. With over ten years of experience in the mental health and clinical research fields, I have developed a strong foundation in providing compassionate care to patients. My journey has included two years of out-of-state residency experience, which has enriched my understanding of diverse patient needs.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in individual and group psychotherapy, psychosocial assessments, and treatment planning. I am dedicated to listening to patients' concerns and helping them navigate their mental, emotional, and behavioral challenges. My experience spans various settings, including crisis intervention and counseling for adolescents and adults, where I have utilized evidence-based therapeutic interventions such as ACT, CBT, DBT, and REBT.
