What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and allows me to make a meaningful impact in mental health care.

I am a dedicated Human Services professional with over 12 years of experience in the mental health industry. My background encompasses a wide range of consultations focusing on the mental, physical, and social development of diverse populations, particularly in medical and correctional settings. I possess a strong foundation in qualitative research, particularly regarding Co-Occurring Disorders and the impact of Cognitive Behavioral Treatment on Substance Use Disorders. My interpersonal communication skills and ability to work collaboratively make me a valuable asset to any team.

Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology, which complements my extensive certifications in mental health and crisis intervention. My professional journey includes roles such as Hotline Counselor and Substance Use Disorder Specialist, where I provided critical support and interventions to individuals in need. I am passionate about utilizing evidence-based practices to enhance the quality of care for those facing mental health challenges, and I strive to create a supportive environment that fosters recovery and growth.
