Summary

As a mental health professional, I assist individuals, couples, and families with a range of issues from minor adjustment challenges to severe mental health conditions. In my role in the social sector, I have worked on cases involving Mhpss, gender-based violence (GBV), child protection (CP), sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and LGBTQI issues, using appropriate psychological protocols for assessment and management. With over three years of experience, I have served as a mental health case manager, psychosocial support counselor, child therapist, and clinical psychologist.
