What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to continue making a meaningful impact in mental health, with opportunities for professional growth and collaboration in a supportive environment.

With over a decade of experience as a psychotherapist, I specialize in providing individual and family therapy for youth and adults facing a variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, allowing me to create a safe space for clients to explore their feelings and work towards healing and growth.

Throughout my career, I have facilitated mindfulness groups and managed my private practice, overseeing all aspects from intakes to billing and insurance verification. My previous roles have included counseling at various educational institutions, where I developed programs and provided crisis intervention, case management, and academic support for students. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of those I serve, and I continuously seek to enhance my skills and knowledge in the mental health field.
