Summary

Distinguished in working with child and adolescent through my time as a teacher, behavioral therapist, and now as a student therapist at the UE Mental Health Clinic, I excel in behavioral intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy, treatment planning, and building strong rapport with those I work with. Leveraging motivational interviewing and attention to detail, I've significantly enhanced patient outcomes. My proactive approach and ability to collaborate effectively underscore my commitment to excellence in mental health support. Furthermore, as a PsyD student at UE I am familiar with client assessments, treatment planning, and ongoing evaluations. I believe if accepted I offer solid foundation in therapeutic principles, a commitment to strengthen my skills and learn more, and hold a genuine desire to help others. Ultimately, if accepted at Easterseals I believe I bring an understanding of human behavior, effective communication techniques, eagerness for learning, and a commitment to client care.
