What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, supports professional growth, and prioritizes client-centered care.

I am a dedicated Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience in mental health services. My journey began with a Master of Family Therapy from Mercer University, where I honed my skills in providing therapeutic support to individuals, couples, and families facing diverse challenges. My professional experience spans various roles, including Recovery Team Facilitator and Behavioral Health Counselor, where I developed individualized recovery plans and collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to ensure comprehensive care for clients.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to improving the quality of mental health services. At Georgia Regional Hospital, I led initiatives to enhance documentation standards and participated in quality review meetings to drive improvements. My work at East Central Regional Hospital involved engaging in audits and performance improvement projects, showcasing my ability to navigate complex healthcare environments while advocating for patient needs. I am passionate about utilizing evidence-based modalities to foster recovery and resilience in my clients.
