I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 12 years of experience in working with children and adolescents. I began my career as an in-home therapist providing therapy for children and their families, which led into a Program Coordinator and then Director of Programs position, in which I was responsible for all of the day to day clinical operations. Currently, I am the Regional Care Coordinator in the Suncoast Region of Florida (Bradenton area) for Magellan Health Services. I am responsible for reviewing the treatment and discharge plans developed for children and adolescents placed within my designated Statewide Inpatient Psychiatric Program (SIPP) and helping to facilitate movement to appropriate and less restrictive levels of care when clinically appropriate.
