What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered clinical role where I can deliver counseling, coordinate multidisciplinary care, mentor staff, and continue clinical research and education.

I am a dedicated behavioral health professional with extensive experience in mental health, substance abuse, and peer support across clinical and community settings.

I have worked as a Mental Health Technician, Direct Care Technician, Certified Peer Support Specialist, and volunteer counselor, consistently planning and coordinating patient care and rehabilitation.

My background includes developing treatment plans, conducting assessments, facilitating groups, crisis advocacy, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and community agencies.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Counseling and Psychological Studies and bring strong leadership, organizational, and clinical skills grounded in years of direct-service experience.
