I worked for nearly 20 years in children's behavioral health as both a therapist and Clinical Director. I've experienced the pains of Vicarious Trauma and Burnout first hand and have witnessed hundreds of others facing the same dilemma... having meaningful work that's sucking the life out of you.

Because of my own experience and what I saw happening to other talented and dedicated helping professionals, I set out to look for answers and help others unlock the keys to their occupational wellbeing.

As it turns out, while there are barriers hindering access to professional fulfillment, there are also resources for managing those barriers and in most cases, completely removing them.

I find it incredibly rewarding to help others develop their voice, create more agency than they ever thought possible, and take back satisfaction, enjoyment and meaning in their work. 

In addition to providing individual therapy, I developed a tool for progressive and wellbeing-centered organizations who want the same for their people. My Work BALANCE, is a mobile app that not only measures levels of occupational wellbeing, but also identifies the barriers. The app contains the BALANCE curriculum which is skill based education for turning resilience into agency. Lastly, it provides opportunity to reflect upon and learn from real world situations.

As a Clinical Director for over 15 years, I found the key to success was a strong workforce; ironically, this was also my greatest challenge. I learned I had to role model everything I expected and that included taking better care of myself, admitting to and learning from my mistakes, being more open and vulnerable than I was comfortable with and being willing to engage in really hard conversations.

 

Over the years, I developed a curriculum, BALANCE, to help turn resilience into agency and promote a healthy work culture.
