I am a counselor at RUBHC who assists in the developing initiatives within the Center for Integrated Care (CIC) at Rutgers Health. As the Training and Consultation Specialist for the CIC, I coordinate and establish trainings for the development of an interprofessional fellowship program that includes APNs, physician assistants, health psychologists, and social workers in the field of integrated care (IC) and SUD treatment. CIC oversees integrated behavioral health in primary care settings at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School including departments of Pediatrics, Specialty Pediatrics, Family Medicine, and OB/GYN, all located in and around underserved areas of the city of New Brunswick. In addition to the coordination and development, I provide assistance and support for those in the fellowship program as well as guidance on the IC model. Previously, I worked in the public school setting as a counselor developing programming, promoting integrated care, and providing holistic support and crisis management for adolescents and preadolescents. Given my expertise with integrated care, behavioral health treatment, and providing services and training in underserved regions, I am well-suited to serve on this project.
