What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a clinical psychology role where I can deliver evidence-based CBT and Trauma-Focused interventions, conduct thorough assessments, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to support resilience, mental well-being, and continuity of care.

I’m a clinical psychology professional pursuing a Master’s at USIU, bringing extensive practicum experience across psychiatric, university, and school settings. I apply evidence-based interventions—especially CBT and Trauma-Focused care—to improve mental well-being and resilience across diverse age groups.

In my hospital practicum, I implemented individual psychotherapy for psychiatric inpatients with severe conditions (including schizophrenia, substance-induced psychosis, and trauma-related disorders). I conduct comprehensive clinical assessments using DSM-5, perform risk assessment and case formulation, develop individualized treatment plans (psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, and grounding techniques), and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to support discharge planning and continuity of care.
