| Clinical Philosophy / Approach to Care |
| As a mobile crisis clinician, serving children and youth in crisis (2-17 years old), my responsibilities consist of assessing needs, de-escalation when appropriate, and connecting families to available resources. Working with youth and families over the 45-day span (while actively open with crisis), my role is to continue to monitor and help the client return to a state of stabilization, through various exercises and activities that provide the client with tools to utilize when experiencing overwhelming feelings. |
| Personal Interests / Fun Facts |
| Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family (husband and 3 boys), venturing to the beach, reading, and working out. |
| What Do You Enjoy About Your Work with DGS |
| I enjoy collaborating with my colleagues and working with youth and families to help provide the best support and care, while connecting them to community resources to help establish long-term mental and physical well-being. |
