    Hello… I saw a job posting for an Outstanding Therapist/Independent Contractor position. I AM VERY INTERESTED. It looks as though you may have filled the position. I would like to submit my resume for review should another position become available. I would prefer part time and am relocating to Del Mar in the upcoming week. I have extensive clinical inpatient and outpatient training with adolescents and adults. I am a great team player and have an upbeat and positive disposition. I hope to hear from you. Thank you, Jennifer Walker MA, LMFT
