What I'm looking for

I want a professional Social Worker position within a fast growing organization, where I can use my education and behavioral health experience to successfully work with a diverse patient population.

I’m a Social Worker dedicated to behavioral health and effective support for children, youth, and families. With experience across mental health, care coordination, and therapeutic behavioral work, I focus on evaluation of treatment needs, community-based resource connections, and clear education for patients and families.

In my roles, I facilitate patient treatment plans, provide counseling and support groups, and use therapeutic communication and de-escalation techniques to help reduce risk and support progress. I thrive as a flexible team player, prioritize multiple tasks, and bring culturally sensitive care grounded in working successfully with diverse populations.
