What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values empathy and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over eleven years of experience in case management, psychoeducation, and counseling, I am a compassionate social worker dedicated to serving marginalized populations. My expertise lies in ensuring client needs are met through empathy, active listening, and cultural competency. I am known for my high productivity and professionalism in all aspects of my work.

Currently, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Common Ground Therapy, I provide Internal Family Systems and Somatic therapy to adults, focusing on trauma-informed care. My previous roles include working as an Independent Contractor with Betterhelp.com and Ayana Therapy, where I utilized CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based therapy techniques. I have also taught substance abuse education and treatment for incarcerated individuals, demonstrating my commitment to advocacy and client empowerment.

My educational background includes a Master of Social Work from Florida State University and a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I am licensed in both Florida and Georgia, and I continuously seek opportunities to enhance my skills and knowledge in the field of social work.
