Consultation

I provide consultation and support to organizations navigating a range of behavioral health needs. My work is collaborative, practical, and grounded in both clinical expertise and real-world operational experience. ​Whether you’re building a new program, strengthening an existing team, or responding to complex clinical challenges, I offer support that is thoughtful, adaptable, and aligned with your organization’s values. For more information regarding my experience and work history in behavioral health, please visit my LinkedIn profile

Strategic Advising

I partner with organizations to think through the “big picture” of their behavioral health programming. This may include program development - particularly virtual program development and expansion - refining clinical models, improving care delivery, or navigating growth and change. My approach balances clinical integrity with operational realities, helping you make sound business decisions that are both ethical and sustainable. One of my professional super hero skills is buidling virtual programming employee culture and staff retention.

Interim Leadership

I offer short-term leadership support for residential or day treatment behavioral health programs. This support includes de novo openings or periods of transition, including coverage during leaves, periods of growth, or leadership gaps. With experience as a past Clinical Director, I can step in to help maintain continuity, team support, clinical supervision, operational stability, and clinical quality of care.

Ideation Sessions

Sometimes teams need space to step back, think creatively, and generate new ideas. I facilitate structured ideation sessions that help behavioral health organizations explore possibilities, problem-solve challenges, and identify clear next steps. These sessions are especially helpful when launching new initiatives, rethinking existing programming, or addressing persistent barriers.

​​​​

Facilitation

I offer facilitation for team meetings, retreats, and clinical discussions, creating space for meaningful dialogue, alignment, and forward movement. My facilitation style is authentic, inclusive, and grounded, helping teams navigate complex topics with clarity while ensuring that multiple perspectives are heard and respected.

Direct Clinical Support

For organizations providing higher level of care behavioral health treatment, I am available to provide short term direct clinical support including individual, family, and group therapy sessions. I am also able to assist with initial assessments, treatment planning, care coordination, utlization review and discharge planning.

Continuing Education

I provide trainings and educational offerings tailored to your team’s needs. Topics include:

  • Eating disorders and disordered eating

  • Weight stigma and diet culture

  • Health at Every Size® and Body Trust® frameworks

  • Mental health awareness and resources for working professionals, especially for legal professionals and airline employees

Trainings are designed to be engaging, practical, and applicable, leaving teams with tools they can use in their day-to-day work.

How We Can Work Together

Consulting engagements are tailored to the unique needs of each organization and may range from one-time sessions to ongoing partnerships. If you’re exploring support for your team or organization, I’d be happy to connect and discuss what might be most helpful. Consulting fees vary due to the nature and lenght of the project. Please inquire.
