I'm a Master's level pre-licensure Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience working in mental health, social services, residential, PCA, nanny/babysitter, etc. with children, adolescents, and adults with various disabilities and mental health diagnoses. While I am not offering therapy services in this role, my knowledge and skills naturally come through as a caregiver. I took a sabbatical from the mental health field because of professional burnout. I intend on returning to the field in private practice in the future, but would like to perform meaningful work in a non-clinical caregiving role in the meantime. I'm unable to do heavy lifting or intense physical activity, but I can perform light housekeeping, meal preparation, and personal care. I'm well-versed in cooking with food allergies, as I have celiac disease.
