What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth in mental health services.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW-CM) with over a decade of experience in clinical and macro social work. As the founder and CEO of New Beginning Therapy, I specialize in trauma-informed care, helping women navigate the complexities of healing from narcissistic abuse and other traumatic experiences. My approach integrates evidence-based modalities such as TF-CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based therapies, ensuring a holistic healing journey for my clients.

Throughout my career, I have developed and managed clinical internship programs, demonstrating my commitment to nurturing the next generation of social workers. My experience spans various settings, including schools and healthcare, where I have successfully implemented programs that promote mental health awareness and support for at-risk populations. I am passionate about creating safe spaces for individuals to reclaim their identities and achieve emotional freedom.
