As a licensed Social Worker I currently work as a clinician in a community-based residential program supporting children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In this role, I provide individual & group therapy, case management, train staff, plan community outings, facilitate meetings and faciltate family therapy and support groups. The goal of this model is to help individuals build emotional regulation, communication, and social skills. I collaborate closely with families, caregivers, and interdisciplinary team members to create a person-centered plan that promotes long-term growth and stability. My work is grounded in trauma-informed, strengths-based care, and reflects a deep commitment to improving outcomes for mental illness and neurodiversity for children and their families.
