Chelsea, Ma

I work as a Recovery Team Leader at North Suffolk Mental Health, providing recovery oriented care to adults with a history of major mental illness. I focus both my practice and my research on major mental illness and trauma recovery.

I work primarily with the Health Integration Program, offering wraparound mental health and medical care to individuals with long-term severe mental illness. I am also part of the Psychodynamic Research Clinic.

Greenway House

I provide case management services to residents at Greenway House, a high intensity group home for people transitioning from long-term state hospitalization into independent living.

I provide community-based support to individuals with chronic and severe mental illness. The PACT model is a "floating hospital" that supports people with serious illness to live independently in their communities.
