Summary

To join a collaborative healing environment that promotes professional growth and guidance. I believe in the power of a client-centered therapeutic relationship with the goal to create a non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work with individuals to develop coping strategies, explore thought patterns, and facilitate personal growth.

Experienced in conducting comprehensive clinical assessments and utilizing evidence-based diagnostic tools to accurately assess and diagnose a wide range of mental health disorders in both in patient and outpatient settings. Well-versed in the DSM-5 criteria and experienced in formulating differential diagnoses through thorough evaluation of client presentations. Continuously engage in ongoing professional development to stay abreast of advancements in the field and refine diagnostic skills. Adhere to ethical standards and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure accurate and nuanced assessments for effective treatment planning.
