Clinical psychology professional applying evidence-based CBT and Trauma-Focused care to build resilience.
What I'm looking for
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.
