What I'm looking for

I seek a role delivering evidence-based counseling and rehabilitation within a collaborative, client-centered team that supports professional growth and community impact.

I am a committed counseling psychologist with hands-on experience in individual and group therapy, case management, and rehabilitation counseling aimed at promoting mental health and resilience. I have delivered psychosocial support, designed treatment plans, and facilitated community awareness programs for clients dealing with addiction, trauma, and emotional challenges.

My clinical background includes supervised practice, collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, and roles across rehabilitation centers, children's homes, and pharmacy settings where I combined medication counseling with psychosocial care. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Counseling Psychology and certifications in addiction counseling and crisis response, reflecting my evidence-based approach.

I bring empathetic listening, strong documentation skills, cross-cultural sensitivity, and a focus on ethical, client-centered care. I am driven to enhance individual and community wellbeing through therapeutic intervention, prevention education, and continuous professional development.
