Throughout my career in social work and behavioral health, I have consistently sought to intertwine evidence-based practices with compassionate engagement, focusing on the transformative power of collaboration to address systemic issues. With extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a natural proclivity to systems thinking, and a wealth of experience in leading teams and providing training, I have been fortunate to create learning communities that equip professionals to tackle complex challenges in mental health and addiction.
I am very grateful for the teachers and mentors I have had over the years. I aspire to work with partners aligned with my personal and professional values. I am committed to implementing evidence-based treatment and training strategies in complex treatment environments because I have personally seen the benefits of this approach. These experiences have instilled in me a strong commitment to service and the necessity of facilitating changes that increase public health and wellbeing.
