Working in both outpatient clinic and inpatient settings I use a family centered care model, in conjunction with motivational interviewing and goal-directed short-term interventions, I partner with the patients, their families, the interdisciplinary team, and community agencies to foster cooperation and collaboration in the creation and attainment of appropriate treatment plans and related intermediary goals. Under the umbrella of Neurology I serve children and families living with Epilepsy, Movement Disorders, Muscular Dystrophy, Neurofibromatosis, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and a host of other neurological conditions. Common co-occurring conditions are Attention Deficit Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders, depression, anxiety, 22Q deletion, and behavioral health concerns. I work as part of the interdisciplinary team to address issues of neglect and abuse, school attendance and educational accommodations, home-life issues (inadequate finances, limited resources, lack of transportation, poor coping skills), and varied barriers to medication and treatment compliance.

I used motivational interviewing, relationship building skills, and varied problem solving strategies in order to assist patients who often presented with poor coping skills and limited insight. I collaborated with doctors, nurses, discharge planners, and other auxiliary staff to create and maintain treatment plans, determine the patients' needed length of stay, and transition each patient to the appropriate level of care post discharge. In addition, I conducted utilization management reviews with insurance case management and participated in probable cause hearings with patients and mental health court staff to validate admissions and hospital stays as well as advocate for a patient's continued stay or release.

I focused on issues of adjustment to illness, support for veterans and families, and linkage to resources to assist with maintaining safety in the community. I supported patients in connecting to state, federal, and VA benefits. I utilized motivational interviewing, relationship building skills, and creative approaches to problem solving in order to assist patients in navigating both the hospital and community systems in an efficient manner. Patients often had co-occurring mental health and health conditions including: PTSD, dementia, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, CHF, COPD, borderline personality disorder, and schizophrenia. As such, I assisted these individuals and families to discover and utilize appropriate social and community resources and connected them to additional care providers to assist them in increasing their interpersonal communication and coping skills. Many veterans and their families also had to contend with homelessness, alcohol and other substance abuse issues, and the long lasting ramifications of military sexual trauma (MST). To assist them in circumventing these barriers, I collaborated with both VA and local community agencies to assist patients in securing appropriate housing, drug and alcohol treatment, and appropriate counseling services.
