What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue leading behavioral health admissions and intake work—delivering accurate ASAM/DSM-5 assessments, crisis evaluations, and compliant documentation while strengthening interdisciplinary coordination and improving patient access to appropriate care.

I’m a behavioral health admissions and intake professional with over eight years of experience supporting psychiatric and substance use services. I lead daily intake operations and assessment workflows, ensuring accurate ASAM level-of-care placement, strong crisis and suicide risk evaluation, and timely documentation.

I bring a track record of operational oversight, mentorship, and compliance through chart audits and interdisciplinary collaboration with nursing, psychiatry, utilization review, and leadership. My clinical foundation spans intake assessments, insurance verification and authorization support, and family coordination—delivered with care, stability, and a clear focus on patient safety and effective admissions flow.
