Hi! My name is Auria and I am an LCSW. I have been in the field of social work for over 15+ years. I currently work in a hospital and jail setting. The hospital setting requires to me address discharge needs. In the jail setting, I am addressing immediate crises such as suicidal/homicidal ideation/psychosis, etc. Both of these roles require me to provide support to patients and their families (where appropriate). In my free time, I spend time with my family and friends.
