What I'm looking for

I seek senior clinical leadership roles where I can supervise clinicians, develop training programs, build policy/SOPs, expand community outreach, and improve quality of care.

I am a licensed professional counselor and PhD candidate in Counseling Education and Supervision with extensive clinical and leadership experience in outpatient behavioral health settings.

I have held progressive operational and clinical leadership roles — including COO, Clinical Director, Partner Director, and Clinical Supervisor — overseeing training, policies, supervision of interns/residents, large caseloads, and community outreach.

I bring expertise in trauma-informed, multicultural, and evidence-based therapies (CBT, DBT, SFBT), SOP/P&P development, crisis management, and interdisciplinary collaboration to improve service quality and expand community impact.
