What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, supports mental wellness, and encourages professional growth.

I am a motivated and compassionate Associate Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) with a strong academic foundation in mental health counseling and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. My experience includes providing individual and group counseling, crisis intervention, and fostering a safe environment for personal growth and healing. I am passionate about supporting diverse populations and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to promote mental wellness.

Throughout my career, I have worked with a variety of students, including those from underrepresented backgrounds, helping them navigate academic challenges and personal issues. My roles have included counseling at Skyline Community College and Jefferson Elementary School District, where I developed intervention strategies and collaborated with faculty and staff to ensure student success. I am committed to continuous professional development and eager to apply my skills in a professional setting.
