I conducted psychosocial assessments and incorporated therapeutic interventions for patients on the Oncology, Critical Care and Intensive Care Units and Emergency Room. I was put in charge to develop, implement, collect, and evaluate data for palliative care services that met regulatory requirements for seriously ill and dying patients. I consulted on complex cases, provided psycho-education to families and patients and provided compassionate case management involving end-of-life services and planning. I was a member of the Ethics and Quality Assurance/Utilization Management Committees.

I am a member of the Multiple Discipline Team with the Juvenile Justice Mental Health Unit at Edelman Children's Court. After a thorough record review of Dependency and Delinquency files for youth under Dependency and Probation Department care, I assist in developing clinical recommendations for each client. I meet with multi-disciplinary teams to discuss impressions for best care practices. I also conduct psycho-social assessments for assigned caseloads and identifies social services and psychiatric needs for those specific youth. I am comfortable navigating the juvenile justice court and probation systems as well as DCFS. I am knowledgable in available community resources and programs as well as non-profit and private organizations that provide mental health services to clients of all ages. I also continue to participate in clinically-focused trainings and conferences.
