What I'm looking for

I seek a client-centered role delivering psychosocial and trauma-informed care within collaborative, culturally competent teams that prioritize outreach, capacity building, and measurable client outcomes.

I am a dedicated Mental Health Counselor with experience delivering psychosocial counseling, trauma and crisis intervention, and psychological first aid across clinical and community settings. I have conducted assessments, developed tailored treatment plans, and led group therapy, outreach, and awareness programs to reduce stigma and expand access to care.

My work spans HIV testing and adherence counseling, adolescent and school-based mental health services, and multidisciplinary collaboration to provide holistic patient-centered care. I am committed to culturally competent, evidence-based practice, capacity building, and ethical, confidential service delivery that improves client outcomes.
