Founder and executive leader of a high-growth, trauma-informed mental health group practice recognized for clinical excellence, operational efficiency, and market expansion.With a BA in Psychology from Oregon State University and an MA in Marriage & Family Therapy from George Fox University, I bring over two decades of experience in behavioral health leadership, including corrections, community mental health, and private practice. My work is grounded in evidence-based trauma treatment with advanced certifications in EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), alongside training in CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based therapies.At WWC, I developed a scalable hybrid care model delivering in-person and secure telehealth services across Oregon and Washington. I established preferred provider contracts with Oregon Medicaid (OHA) and Kaiser Permanente, and secured paneling with 7+ major insurance networks—expanding access, ensuring revenue diversity, and positioning WWC as a top-tier insurance credentialed provider.Under my leadership, WWC has achieved year-over-year double-digit growth, doubling both size and revenue annually. I have built a high-retention clinical team through professional development programs, advanced trauma training, and a supportive workplace culture.Recognized by The Oregonian for outstanding services to patients and staff, WWC is known for cultural responsiveness, client empowerment, and sustainable business growth. We are actively expanding into new high-demand markets, leveraging strong payer relationships and a proven operations model to scale while maintaining quality.
