Speaker Short Bio
I am tenaciously passionate about using my experience and skills to create a positive impact to improve the health of people. My values for professional practice include compassion, curiosity, encouragement, and integrity. My leadership style is value- based, collaborative, service oriented, and solution focused. I hold a population health perspective, which gives me the ability to create macro change. I am a team player, often quite skilled at bringing people together and lead groups with ease. My theoretical approach to clinical practice involves evidence-based theories of psychology such as: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Brief Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing. While I draw from a wide perspective of theoretical approaches, I believe the essential foundation for healing to happen is building trust with people, as this earns the privilege of being seen and heard. I humbly enjoy working with interns, practicum students, and medical residents. I hold a Trauma-Informed Care Perspective in all the work that I do.
