What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a supportive environment that values diversity and fosters professional growth.

As a Master of Social Work candidate with a strong foundation in psychology, I am passionate about providing therapeutic support to individuals from diverse backgrounds. My clinical experience includes working as a Staff Psychotherapist at Walnut Psychotherapy Center, where I manage a caseload of 25 clients, offering tailored therapy to adults and adolescents. My commitment to social justice is reflected in my co-founding of the TransForming Social Work group, aimed at supporting trans and gender non-conforming students.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in individual therapy, crisis intervention, and community engagement. My previous roles, including Social Work Intern at Mastery Charter Clymer Elementary School and Employment Training Specialist at Community Integrated Services, have equipped me with the ability to interface effectively with clients, families, and educational staff. I am dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment where all individuals can thrive.
