About Me

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, clinical leader, and consultant specializing in helping organizations build and strengthen behavioral health services that are both clinically sound and operationally sustainable. I partner with behavioral health organizations to build ethical, sustainable, and clinically strong programs, especially in the areas of eating disorders and complex care. I am also passionate about remaining a clinician and supervisor. For more information about my counseling services and approach, please view Counseling Services.

​

My work is rooted in the belief that high-quality care doesn’t happen by accident. It requires thoughtful systems, strong leadership, and a clear commitment to ethical, client-centered practice. ​Over the course of my career, I’ve held leadership roles supporting multi-state behavioral health programs, where I’ve been responsible for program development, clinical oversight, and team leadership across complex and evolving care environments. I’ve worked at the intersection of clinical excellence and operational execution, helping organizations navigate growth, maintain quality, and support their teams effectively.

​

My Approach to Consulting

I partner with organizations as a thoughtful collaborator and strategic advisor. My goal is not just to offer recommendations, but to help teams think clearly, make informed decisions, and move forward with confidence.

My consulting work is grounded in:

• Clinical integrity – ensuring care models align with best practices

• Operational awareness – understanding the realities of running and scaling programs

• Collaboration – working alongside teams rather than dictating solutions

• Sustainability – building systems that support both clients and clinicians over time

I’m particularly skilled at helping organizations navigate complex or ambiguous challenges, where there isn’t a single clear answer and thoughtful decision-making is required. I also pride myself on developing strong team culture and increasing employee retention.

​

Areas of Expertise

I bring particular expertise in:

• Eating disorder treatment and program development, including design, implementation, and refinement

• Supporting virtual and multi-state behavioral health programs both clinically and operationally 

• Building strong employee culture, even in virtual programs, and increasing employee retention

• Clinical supervision and clinician development

• Temporary Leadership support, including de novo openings

• Integrating Health at Every Size® and Body Trust® principles into clinical care

​

Education & Training

I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Fox University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in 35+ states. ​I am also a Certified Body Trust® Specialist and have completed Level 1 training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). I continue to engage in ongoing training and consultation to stay current and responsive to the evolving needs of the field.

Just for fun...

I'm a third-culture kid who had the priviledge of growing up in Eastern and Southern Africa and the Indian subcontinent. I enjoy a rich personal life that includes international travel, fostering dogs, and wildly and unabashedly supporting women's soccer. I love to read, spend time with friends, and occassionally grace the stage as a theatre actor. I bring a lot of energy, passion, and humor to my work. My fabulous red hair is a deep part of my identity and I'm an enneagram 8.
