What I'm looking for

Seeking a leadership role in a behavioral health organization where I can utilize my skills and experience to drive high-quality service delivery and promote positive changes in clients' lives.

As a seasoned behavioral health professional with over 30 years of experience, I have developed a unique blend of clinical expertise, administrative leadership, and mentorship skills. My passion lies in developing and implementing therapeutic programs that drive client goals, overseeing staff supervision, and ensuring regulatory compliance. With a strong background in crisis intervention, program management, and team leadership, I am adept at fostering a supportive team environment that drives high-quality service delivery.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated the ability to collaborate with community partners, develop and implement quality assurance measures, and facilitate staff training and professional development. My expertise in EMR/EHR systems, Microsoft Office, and Google Workspace has enabled me to enhance program effectiveness and documentation accuracy.

I am committed to delivering comprehensive care services that address the unique needs of clients with co-occurring behavioral health and substance abuse issues. With a strong focus on crisis management, psychoeducation, and evidence-based practices, I am dedicated to supporting clients in their recovery journey and promoting positive changes in their lives.
