What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, supports professional growth, and emphasizes patient-centered care.

I am a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Case Manager (CCM) with extensive experience in providing evidence-based psychotherapy and comprehensive case management. My journey in the mental health field has equipped me with the skills to conduct thorough biopsychosocial assessments and develop individualized treatment plans that align with DSM-5 standards. I am passionate about enhancing patient functioning and well-being through strong communication and collaboration.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed a diverse caseload, providing support to clients from various backgrounds. My experience spans multiple telehealth platforms, where I ensure compliance with HIPAA and insurance standards while delivering high-quality care. I have also worked in forensic settings, collaborating with legal professionals to provide expert opinions and testimony. I am committed to advocating for my clients and facilitating access to necessary resources, ensuring holistic care delivery.
