What I'm looking for

I seek roles offering trauma-informed, holistic clinical work with opportunities to lead programs, deliver workshops, and expand community and corporate wellness access.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with 9+ years of clinical experience across outpatient, residential, integrated care, university counseling, and community mental health settings, delivering trauma-informed, culturally responsive care using a mind-body-spirit approach. I blend evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing with integrative practices including somatic techniques, breathwork, guided meditation, and sound healing to support nervous-system regulation and holistic recovery.

I have experience in clinical leadership, program development, multidisciplinary collaboration, and high-quality documentation, and I have provided services in telehealth and in-person settings. I am committed to expanding access to holistic mental wellness through private practice, community partnerships, workshops, and corporate wellness offerings under Sacred Lotus Journey.
