I am a dedicated mental health counselor with a Master of Education in Counselor Education, specializing in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in providing therapeutic case management, conducting assessments, and implementing effective treatment plans. At Safe Harbor Center, I performed psycho-social assessments and developed individual treatment plans for youth, utilizing evidence-based practices such as Motivational Interviewing and Harm Reduction. I also coordinated services with community agencies and participated in program-related initiatives.

In my role as a Georgia Apex Therapist at Gateway Community Service Board, I conducted intakes, assessments, and referrals for clients, and provided individual, family, and group counseling. I maintained strict confidentiality and ensured compliance with agency requirements. Additionally, I have experience as a clinical mental health counselor intern at the Georgia Southern University Counseling Center, where I provided individual counseling services to college students and co-facilitated group therapy sessions.
