What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a trauma-informed, culturally responsive role where I can deliver evidence-based therapy, provide crisis-informed support when needed, and partner closely with clients, families, and multidisciplinary teams.

I’m a mental health clinician and MSW graduate with advanced clinical training in trauma-informed, culturally responsive care across outpatient and community-based settings. I provide individual, family, and group counseling for adults and adolescents presenting with trauma, anxiety, and depression, and I’m intentional about building trust through cultural humility and client-centered collaboration.

In my counseling internship to LCSW, I administer behavioral health screenings and evidence-based assessments to support differential diagnosis and treatment planning. I develop measurable, time-sensitive treatment plans and maintain thorough documentation—including progress notes and psychosocial summaries—to ensure ethical, consistent care. I also advocate for clients navigating complex legal and systemic challenges, and I build practical access by compiling community resources and identifying partnership opportunities.

Alongside outpatient training, I’ve supported people in crisis through Crisis Text Line, evaluating risk to clients and others, conducting assessments, and completing post-crisis evaluations to improve practice. I’m equally comfortable working with youth and transition-aged clients through daily check-ins and therapeutic programming, and I bring a steady, reflective approach to case management and group facilitation.
