What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to make a meaningful impact on children's lives through counseling and support.

I am a dedicated mental health professional with over a decade of experience in providing individualized care and support to at-risk children and families. My journey began as a Mental Health Technician, where I facilitated therapeutic groups and developed essential skills in crisis intervention and case management. I have a strong background in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to empower families and promote mental well-being.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Individualized Care Coordinator and Intensive Case Manager, where I managed cases of severely emotionally disturbed children. My commitment to fostering positive change has been recognized through awards and honors, including recognition from the Coordinated Children’s Services Initiative. I am passionate about creating supportive environments that encourage growth and resilience in children and families.
