Services offered

I currently work as a Mental Health Counselor (MHC) at Humboldt Part Health, where I provide assessments, individual counseling, and crisis intervention services. I also lead group therapy, manage treatment plans, and coordinate care while maintaining client records. My role allows me to support individuals through difficult times and help them improve their mental health and well-being.

In addition to my work at Humboldt Part Health, I have experience in various community support roles, including positions at Tender Rose Memory Care and Capital Home Care, where I advocated for resident rights, implemented safety protocols, and facilitated conflict resolution. I've also served as a Home Care Assistant, providing personal care and companionship to patients, and as a Mental Health Technician, where I conducted evaluations and participated in crisis intervention and group therapy.

I have a strong background in public health advocacy, having worked as an Outreach Coordinator for Community Support Linking Services, where I coordinated HIV/AIDS prevention and community outreach programs. My work in advocacy also includes supporting LGBTQI asylum seekers and assisting in HIV counseling and testing programs.

With a background in both public health and cybersecurity, I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Cybersecurity, which complements my passion for supporting vulnerable communities and working in healthcare settings.

Approximate rate: USD$ 120 per hour

Experience

I am a dedicated Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience in public health, community support, and mental health services. My professional journey includes roles in mental health counseling, crisis intervention, advocacy, and public health education. I have a proven track record of conducting assessments, leading therapy sessions, and managing treatment plans to support clients' mental well-being.

My background spans various sectors, including memory care, home care, and mental health services, where I have consistently implemented safety protocols, facilitated conflict resolution, and advocated for client rights. Additionally, I have a rich history of working in public health, focusing on HIV/AIDS prevention, community outreach, and supporting marginalized populations.

Currently pursuing a Master’s in Cybersecurity, I bring a unique combination of healthcare and technical expertise, positioning me to address the evolving needs of the healthcare industry, particularly in cybersecurity and patient data protection. My passion for advocacy, coupled with my clinical experience and technical skills, drives my commitment to improving both individual lives and community health outcomes.

Education

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Public Health from Walden University, where I gained a comprehensive understanding of public health principles, community health initiatives, and healthcare systems. Currently, I am pursuing a master’s degree in Cybersecurity, also at Walden University, with an anticipated graduation in February 2025. This advanced degree is enhancing my knowledge in cybersecurity practices, data protection, and information security, particularly as they relate to the healthcare industry. This combination of public health and cybersecurity education equips me to address the critical intersection of healthcare and technology, focusing on safeguarding sensitive patient information and improving healthcare system security.
