I am a clinical health psychologist and have spent most of my career at the intersection of behavioral health and medicine. My mission is to improve access to behavioral healthcare for children, adolescents, adults, and families, and help medical clinicians, primary care practices, and healthcare organizations design and implement integrated approaches that empower providers, facilitate patient engagement, improve the quality of care and health outcomes, and promote care team wellbeing and work-life satisfaction. I am good at seeing possibilities, and building something new out of a seed of an idea. I am always interested in opportunities to collaborate, ideate, create, and help people and organizations grow.For the past decade, I led the start-up and growth of a comprehensive clinical program that integrated more than 125 behavioral health clinicians and psychiatric advanced practice nurses, in a statewide pediatric primary care network of 80 practices, that provides care to more than 400,000 patients. In this work I provided operational consultation, training, and clinical support to managing partners, practice administrators, and multidisciplinary care teams as they integrated behavioral health and substance use services in their practices.As a management professional I’ve earned a reputation as an innovative thought leader, a pragmatic and strategic thinker, with the ability to lead high-performing teams, facilitate productive cross-departmental collaborations, and build effective external partnerships. Those I have worked with value my dedication as a mentor, my forward-thinking vision, and my intuitive sense of how to drive change to achieve success. As a leader I work to demonstrate warmth, compassion, and caring to those I lead, and incorporate fun and humor along the way.As a practicing clinical psychologist for over 30 years, I have provided diagnostic assessment and psychotherapy services to children, adolescents, adults, and families, in hospital, clinic, and school settings. As a clinical content expert and digital health creator, I developed innovative tools for clients in the hospital, behavioral health, insurance, and pharmaceutical industries to increase patient engagement and self-management, improve clinical outcomes, and improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery.Currently, I am seeking new opportunities to share my experience transforming health service delivery to make a difference in the lives of children, families and healthcare providers, and facilitate better health and well being for people and communities.
