What I'm looking for

I seek client-centered counseling roles in collaborative, ethical environments where I can provide assessment, crisis intervention, addiction and behavioral treatment, and support family involvement while growing professionally.

I am a results-driven counseling psychology professional with hands-on experience across rehabilitation centers, hospitals, schools, and child services, focused on assessing behavior, developing individualized treatment plans, and facilitating both individual and group therapy. I bring strengths in crisis intervention, addiction and mood-disorder treatment, family collaboration, and maintaining confidentiality and ethical practice.

Throughout my roles I have monitored client progress, educated families and adolescents, coordinated with medical and social services, and documented evaluations to ensure effective outcomes. I lead with empathy, strong communication, and problem-solving skills to help clients achieve short- and long-term recovery and behavioral goals.
