What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to further develop my skills in mental health support while contributing to community well-being and resilience.

I am a dedicated psychologist with extensive experience in providing mental health and psychosocial support services, particularly to vulnerable populations such as SGBV survivors, children, and families. My work at organizations like Terre Des Hommes and the Danish Refugee Council has equipped me with the skills to conduct comprehensive assessments, develop tailored interventions, and facilitate group therapy sessions. I am passionate about empowering individuals and communities through effective psychosocial support and crisis intervention.

Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented protection and MHPSS activities, trained community health workers, and strengthened referral systems to ensure quality care for those in need. My commitment to ethical practices and confidentiality, combined with strong communication and leadership skills, allows me to work effectively in team settings and foster collaborative partnerships. I am eager to continue making a positive impact in the field of mental health.
