Dedicated mental health professional with expertise in trauma-informed care.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated mental health professional with over a decade of experience in community-focused roles, particularly in public education and mental health. My expertise lies in trauma-informed care and culturally competent approaches, allowing me to connect effectively with both adult and adolescent populations. I have a proven ability to manage complex emotional needs, create supportive environments, and foster resilience in my clients.
Currently, I serve as a Senior Clinical Mental Health Professional at the Travis County Juvenile Detention Center, where I provide clinical assessments, develop treatment plans, and lead group counseling programs. My role involves monitoring patients' well-being and leading training sessions for new staff to enhance community understanding of mental health. I also work as a Trauma Therapist at Carlisle Collective, where I employ evidence-based interventions such as EMDR and cognitive-behavioral therapy to guide clients toward healing and recovery.
Throughout my career, I have been recognized for building strong relationships and delivering compassionate guidance. I am passionate about employing evidence-based strategies in challenging settings and am committed to creating inclusive and supportive environments for clients from diverse backgrounds.
