What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to further develop my skills in behavior therapy while contributing to a supportive and collaborative team environment.

I am a passionate mental health professional with a Master of Social Work (MSW) and Certified Social Worker (CSW) designation. My journey in the field began with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Dillard University, and I have since dedicated myself to providing high-quality behavioral therapy services. My experience includes working with diverse populations, offering counseling, crisis intervention, and community psychiatric supportive treatment.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in applied behavior analysis (ABA), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychosocial rehabilitation (PSR). My role at Positive Direction Support Services allowed me to provide essential counseling and skill training to both children and adults, ensuring their mental health needs are met through comprehensive care coordination. I have also collaborated with healthcare teams to enhance service delivery, demonstrating my commitment to improving client outcomes.
