What I'm looking for
I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 7+ years of experience serving diverse populations, including incarcerated individuals, foster children, domestic violence survivors, students, individuals with severe mental illness, and disabled individuals.
My core strength is action-oriented clinical coordination—especially discharge planning, case management, crisis intervention, and trauma-informed care. I conduct biopsychosocial assessments and provide individual counseling in field-based and community settings. I evaluate and enter data on a daily basis to analyze reentry processes to maximize efficiency within our team.
In re-entry and shelter environments, I’ve led continuity-of-care work for complex needs: release planning, medication ordering coordination, and supervision of re-entry coordinators. I’ve also managed overnight emergency shelter operations, delivered hotline and in-person support, and completed Orders of Protection with court documentation.
I bring a steady commitment to safety, accountability, and stabilization for clients and families. With ongoing training in suicide prevention, prolonged exposure, restorative justice, and trauma-informed care, I aim to help people move forward with dignity and measurable next steps.
