What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and allows me to make a meaningful impact on clients' mental health.

I am a dedicated clinical psychologist with a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology, bringing over five years of experience in clinical diagnosis, assessment, and psychotherapeutic interventions. Throughout my career, I have effectively treated over 4,500 clients facing more than 100 different psychopathologies, utilizing a variety of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy. My commitment to ethical standards and evidence-based practices has enabled me to develop tailored treatment plans that address the unique needs of each client.

In my current role as a Helpline Counsellor at Shewrites Woman Mental Health Initiative, I have honed my skills in psychological reporting, research, and data analysis. I excel in establishing rapport with clients, allowing me to identify underlying issues that may not be immediately apparent. My collaborative approach with co-workers and external professionals has led to successful outcomes for my clients, ensuring they receive comprehensive care and support. I am passionate about mental health advocacy and continuously seek opportunities for professional development to enhance my therapeutic techniques.
