Compassionate social worker dedicated to improving mental health outcomes.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated social worker with a strong background in mental health, I have honed my skills through various roles at Holyoke Medical Center. My experience as a Social Work Intern allowed me to carry a case load of adult patients, where I assessed their needs, provided psychoeducation, and facilitated treatment compliance. I take pride in my ability to engage patients in reality testing and milieu therapy, ensuring they receive comprehensive support throughout their treatment journey.
In my role as a Behavioral Health Admissions Coordinator, I facilitated patient admissions to various psychiatric services, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and insurance providers to ensure efficient and appropriate care. My experience as a Psychiatric Counselor further strengthened my crisis intervention skills, where I led psychoeducation groups and assisted patients with daily living tasks. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate their mental health challenges and am committed to fostering a supportive environment for recovery.
