What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to support underserved communities and grow in a collaborative environment focused on mental health.

I am an empathetic and skilled counseling professional with direct experience in crisis response, suicide prevention, and therapeutic support. My commitment to providing compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care drives my work. I have a strong background in risk assessment, client safety planning, and follow-up services, and I excel in documentation and interagency collaboration.

Currently, I serve as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at High Hopes Counseling, where I conduct comprehensive intake assessments and clinical evaluations to determine treatment needs. I provide individual and family therapy using CBT, mindfulness, and strength-based approaches, and I lead psychoeducational workshops to raise mental health awareness. My passion lies in supporting underserved communities and contributing to a more inclusive and equitable mental health ecosystem.
