What I'm looking for
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker with broad experience across inpatient, outpatient, long-term care, and community settings, delivering evidence-based interventions such as DBT and CBT. I build rapport quickly, advocate for clients, and coordinate interdisciplinary care to improve outcomes.
My background includes psychosocial assessments, treatment planning, discharge planning, crisis intervention, and substance use disorder assessment (SASSI), with proficiency in EHR/EMR documentation and regulatory compliance. I have led group and individual therapy, managed caseloads of youth and adults, and supported residents in skilled nursing and long-term care.
I am committed to culturally competent practice, client-centered advocacy, and continuous professional growth, demonstrated by certifications in C-DBT and multiple state licensures, military service, and presentations at professional conferences.
