What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining direct trauma-informed clinical practice with program development or grant management in a collaborative, culturally humble organization focused on measurable client outcomes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to delivering trauma-informed, holistic mental health services across outpatient, in-home, and community settings. I integrate evidence-based modalities to support children, families, and justice-involved youth toward long-term emotional wellness.

My background includes hands-on clinical roles and program management positions where I administered grants, monitored compliance, and refined policies to improve service outcomes. I have supported multi-county grant application processes and post-award monitoring to ensure fiscal and programmatic accountability.

Clinically, I provide individual, group, and family therapy using CBT, TF-CBT, ARC-Grow, mindfulness, and trauma assessments, and I facilitate psychoeducational groups and crisis interventions. I emphasize culturally competent, client-centered care and collaborate with courts, schools, and community partners to coordinate services.

I hold an MSW from Rutgers University, certification as a trauma-informed yoga instructor, and ongoing professional development in clinical practice and cultural competence. I seek to contribute my clinical expertise and program evaluation experience to organizations focused on accessible, evidence-based mental health services.
