  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and currently work as a Psychiatric Social Worker II for the County of Los Angeles Department of Mental Health (DMH). I work in the Forensic Psychiatry Bureau, in the Community Reintegration Program / Post-Release Services. I am based at an LA County Probation office, where I provide clinical assessments and mental health crisis intervention for people who are newly released from state prison. Previously, I was the clinical supervisor for social services on the Behavioral Health Unit at Los Angeles Community Hospital at Bellflower. I led a team of social service professionals (including ACSWs, AMFTs, and BSWs) who provided psychiatric social work services to those with severe and persistent mental illness. Before becoming a clinical social worker, I worked in media and public relations and as a freelance journalist, and I possess strong communications, writing, marketing, and project management skills. I hold both a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree with a Community Mental Health concentration and a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from CSU, Fullerton. I specialize in crisis intervention, assessment, treatment of severe and persistent mental illness, and treatment and discharge planning. I have provided individual and group therapy to a diverse client population dealing with severe mood, thought, and personality disorders, as well as those with trauma, addiction, and forensic histories. I also have experience working on a medical/surgical unit and on a substance detox floor as a clinician. My clinical interests include acute and severe mental illness, legal issues in mental health, medical social work, substance misuse, eating disorders, LGBTQIA issues, and HIV/AIDS-related care. I primarily utilize CBT/DBT, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy. More importantly, I tailor my approach to the client’s needs. I am very experienced in abuse and neglect reporting, LPS holds, conservatorship, probable cause and Riese hearings, and Tarasoff notifications. I have testified in legal proceedings resulting from Tarasoff warnings and have represented a psychiatric hospital and its psychiatrists with LPS-related issues. I am LPS-designated by Los Angeles County to write 5150 applications. Prior to my graduate studies, I worked for AIDS Project Los Angeles for nearly a decade, most recently as the agency's Director of Communications, where I managed the public relations, media, and marketing efforts and served as spokesperson for one of the nation's largest AIDS service organizations.
