What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can deliver trauma-informed, culturally responsive care and housing support to clients navigating complex systems—working in an ethical, collaborative environment that values emotional safety, accountability, and measurable stability.

I’m a social justice–oriented therapist and Children’s Social Worker II, committed to trauma-informed, culturally responsive care for clients navigating complex systems and chronic stressors. In child welfare and community mental health settings, I bring strong clinical judgment, ethical advocacy, and a collaborative approach that centers emotional safety, accountability, and meaningful change.

I’ve conducted sensitive investigations and interviews, supported service planning through interdisciplinary collaboration, and maintained state-mandated documentation in high-stakes environments. I also provide housing navigation and crisis intervention—coordinating referrals, facilitating the housing process from application through move-in, and strengthening stability through client-centered support and solutions-oriented care.
