What I'm looking for
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in providing mental health services to diverse populations. My journey in social work began with a strong educational foundation, earning a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington and a Master of Arts in Social Psychology from San Francisco State University. I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate their mental health challenges through evidence-based practices and collaborative approaches.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings, including psychiatric hospitals, correctional facilities, and community organizations. My role as a Family and Child Therapist at Compass Health allows me to conduct comprehensive mental health assessments and develop tailored treatment plans for youth and families. I have a proven track record of collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to ensure that clients receive holistic care and support.
In addition to my clinical work, I have engaged in research and teaching, contributing to the academic community at the University of Washington and San Francisco State University. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, having completed various clinical trainings, including EMDR and DBT. My goal is to create a positive impact in the lives of those I serve and to advocate for mental health awareness and accessibility.
