What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue delivering trauma-informed counselling, crisis intervention, child welfare support, and client advocacy in collaborative healthcare, legal, or social service settings.

I provide psychosocial assessments, crisis intervention, and therapeutic counselling for individuals and families navigating trauma, crisis, and complex care needs.

At FIDA, I support women and children facing domestic violence and human rights violations, collaborating with legal professionals on safety planning, resource navigation, and psychosocial reports for legal proceedings.

Through Zimeek Counselling and Home Care Services and the Home for Street Children (Badamia), I conduct suicide risk assessments, deliver trauma-focused therapy, facilitate family reunification, manage child welfare caseloads, and prepare court reports.

I also bring hospital-based experience supporting patients, families, and elderly people through discharge planning, advocacy, clinical documentation, ADL support, and continuity of care.
