I am a licensed mental health counselor with extensive experience conducting intake and clinical assessments for adults seeking mental health and substance use treatment. I provide clear level-of-care recommendations and maintain thorough documentation to support treatment planning.

My clinical practice spans private practice, outpatient substance use treatment, and public child welfare consultation where I provided triage assessments, motivational interviewing, and brief solution-focused counseling. I build rapport quickly to reduce ambivalence and connect clients to appropriate next steps.

I collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams and external referral sources, including prescribers, IOP/PHP programs, detox facilities, MAT providers, and residential treatment programs to coordinate care. I prioritize pragmatic, evidence-informed interventions and strong case coordination to improve client outcomes.

I hold professional licensure as a mental health counselor and bring years of direct clinical work, case management, and victim advocacy to roles that require assessment, treatment planning, crisis intervention, and collaborative systems navigation.
