What I'm looking for

I seek a client-centered clinical social work role delivering CBT and trauma-informed care, with supervision, interdisciplinary collaboration, and opportunities to support housing stability and diverse populations.

I am a compassionate, client-centered social worker with a Master of Social Work and registration in Ontario. I prioritize ethical practice, cultural competence, and collaborative care in all clinical work.

As a Therapist Intern at GreenwichHouse and COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, I delivered individual therapy and facilitated support groups using CBT and trauma-informed care, conducted biopsychosocial assessments, and developed personalized treatment plans.

In case management roles with DowntownRescueMission I managed barriers to housing stability, coordinated healthcare, financial aid, and job training, and maintained detailed clinical documentation while collaborating with interdisciplinary teams.

I also supported children with special needs at MilestoneFosterAgency and hold CPR & First Aid certification; I seek to continue growing clinically while contributing practical solutions and empathetic care to diverse populations.
