What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to make a meaningful impact in clients' lives, with opportunities for professional growth and collaboration in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated mental health counselor with over six years of experience specializing in addiction and co-occurring disorders. My journey in this field has been driven by a commitment to providing client-centered, outcomes-based care. I have honed my skills in telehealth, treatment planning, and group facilitation, ensuring that my clients receive the highest quality of support tailored to their unique needs.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various capacities, including as an Addictions Counselor at Ascend Wellness, where I delivered both in-person and telehealth counseling. I led individual and virtual group therapy sessions, developed comprehensive treatment plans, and coordinated care with other providers. My experience as a Co-Occurring Counselor and Behavioral Health Evaluator has equipped me with the skills to assess and treat clients with dual diagnoses, ensuring they receive the appropriate interventions and support during critical times.

My educational background includes a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Certificate in Addictions Counseling. I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome their challenges and achieve lasting recovery, and I continuously seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills in the mental health field.
