What I'm looking for

I seek clinical roles in multidisciplinary hospital or outpatient settings where I can provide trauma-informed therapy, manage GBV cases, supervise trainees, and advocate for improved mental health care.

I am a licensed and registered clinical psychologist with extensive experience providing psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and trauma-focused interventions across hospital and outpatient settings.

I have managed GBV/SGBV cases, provided COVID-19 related counseling and PFA, supervised psychology students on practicum, and collaborated closely with psychiatrists to develop and evaluate treatment plans.

I am committed to advocating for improved mental health care, delivering compassionate, confidential services, and supporting multidisciplinary teams to achieve better patient outcomes.
