Additionally, I provided services as a therapist working for an inpatient psychiatric hospital providing therapeutic care, conducting groups, and assisting in creating treatment and discharge plans to high acuity patients (both minors and adults). Aside from working for both inpatient and outpatient facilities, I have also worked as a Medical Social Worker conducting biopsychosocial assessments, identifying challenges and problematic concerns such as social, emotional, maturational (newborn through geriatric, depending on assignment) cultural, financial and legal followed by implementation of suitable interventions.

Currently, I am self-employed and have been working in private practice for the past several years. Aside from working with my own clients, I also provide direct clinical supervision to Associates of Social Work for a non-profit agency. In addition, I am also retained by the Kern County Public Defender’s Office where I am requested to conduct mental health evaluations and provide expert testimony (if necessary) within my clinical scope of practice and competence.
