What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can provide trauma-informed, evidence-based clinical care—conduct assessments, build measurable treatment plans, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams—while continuing to grow my diagnostic, documentation, and crisis-risk skills.

I’m a Doctoral Trainee and third-year Clinical PsyD student focused on delivering evidence-based, trauma-informed psychotherapy while strengthening diagnostic and assessment skills. I bring strong work ethics and excellent organization to every client interaction, documentation task, and team collaboration.

In my current role, I provide individual psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults presenting with a wide range of mental health concerns. I conduct comprehensive diagnostic assessments, biopsychosocial evaluations, and intake interviews, then develop individualized treatment plans with measurable goals while monitoring progress throughout treatment.

I also support client care through HIPAA-compliant clinical documentation, ongoing risk assessments for suicide, self-harm, homicide, and abuse/neglect, and timely safety planning and crisis intervention when indicated. Across prior roles—from behavioral health intake support to mental health and education support—I’ve built experience coordinating services, supporting multidisciplinary teams, and applying approaches including CBT, ACT, and DBT skills.
