What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a behavioral health role where I can support clients and teams with crisis intervention, de-escalation, and trauma-informed care—helping people stay safe, build coping skills, and progress in structured rehabilitation and community environments.

I’m a dependable behavioral health professional with experience supporting individuals in hospital, educational, and community-based settings. I focus on maintaining safety, responding calmly during crises, building professional rapport, and supporting rehabilitation-focused environments. I use DBT-informed techniques, crisis intervention, and de-escalation to help clients make meaningful progress toward independence and emotional stability.

In my current role as a Therapeutic Coach, I provide individualized behavioral support and work with multidisciplinary teams, families, and caregivers to maintain accountability and consistency. Previously, I coordinated patient admissions, transfers, and discharges while ensuring accurate documentation and confidentiality compliance, and I also supported crisis response through patient safety checks and de-escalation during behavioral incidents. I’m recognized for professionalism, teamwork, and performing effectively under pressure.
