What I'm looking for
I provide mental health counseling through biopsychosocial assessments and individualized treatment plans, supporting clients with clear goals and consistent progress documentation. In my roles, I manage weekly caseloads ranging from 15–25 to 30–35 clients and ensure treatment plans and progress notes are submitted in a timely manner.
I also bring clinical experience across outpatient and community settings, including leading associate therapist work, clinical social work supporting Whole Person Care release planning, and mental health specialist responsibilities for at-risk youth ages 8–19. I collaborate in multidisciplinary teams, determine appropriate levels of care, and deliver evidence-based interventions including cognitive behavioral, problem-solving, and person-centered therapy.
