What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a people-oriented organization that values empathy and collaboration, where I can continue to grow and make a positive impact on individuals' lives.

I am an empathetic and caring social worker with 9 years of experience in behavioral health and healthcare. My journey has been dedicated to helping individuals in the community achieve quality mental, physical, and emotional health. Currently, I work as a Therapist at Vogue Recovery Center, where I provide direct rehabilitative services to patients with substance use disorders and other mental health issues. My role involves comprehensive treatment planning, patient assessments, and facilitating various therapy sessions, including individual and group therapies.

Previously, I served as a Medical Social Worker at Hospice of the Valley and Lumicare Hospice, where I focused on patient care, supportive counseling, and developing therapeutic relationships. My experience also includes working as a Behavioral Health Technician at Valleywise Health, where I monitored patient health and facilitated social skills training. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to mobilize community resources and provide crisis interventions, ensuring that patients receive holistic care tailored to their needs.
