Compassionate social worker dedicated to client-centered care.
What I'm looking for
As a Clinical Social Worker at Tioga County Mental Hygiene, I provide individual therapy for clients with co-occurring disorders, employing evidence-based modalities such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My approach is rooted in client-centered, harm reduction, and trauma-informed interventions, ensuring that each client receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs.
In my role as a Per Diem Counselor at Helio Health, I conduct admissions, intakes, and comprehensive evaluations to develop tailored treatment plans. I facilitate individual counseling sessions and lead psychoeducational groups, supporting clients in their recovery journey and personal growth. My experience as an MSW Intern at Casa-Trinity of Elmira further honed my skills in group counseling, focusing on substance abuse, relapse prevention, and life skills.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to providing immediate crisis intervention as a Crisis Counselor for the Crisis Text Line, where I offered de-escalation support and facilitated referrals to ensure continued care for individuals in distress. My educational background, with a Master of Social Work from Edinboro University and a Bachelor of Business Management from Lackawanna College, complements my practical experience, equipping me with a diverse skill set to support my clients effectively.
