Established mental health executive leveraging 10 years of experience in evidence-based clientcare, cost control, and revenue opportunities to found and grow a mental health organization that employs 30 clinical and administrative staff and serves over a thousand clients and their families each year. Oversee healthcare talent recruitment, onboarding, and ongoing development of in-demand talent. Strategic planning and implementation to continuously develop partnerships and referral networks that position the organization to be stable and competitive in the marketplace.As a therapist, I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples, as they develop resilience and build strong relationships. I use a mind-body approach that combines intellectual understanding with somatic awareness to empower clients towards a deeper understanding of themselves and others. I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment in which exercises are paired with relaxation so that my clients receive tools and techniques to carry with them into the everyday challenges of their lives. In sessions, I employ humor, art, writing, and mindful meditation to help clients gain insight and reduce stress, and outside of sessions, many of my clients express themselves and cope through creativity, movement, or spending time in nature. I am LGBTQ affirming. My graduate degree is in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. With couples, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method to create a secure attachment and develop trust.
