I am a Co-Founder and the CEO of TelebehavioralHealth.US, and a founding board member of the Mental Health Professionals Equity Alliance (MHPEA). As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to reshaping how mental health care is delivered, making it more accessible, equitable, and sustainable for both clients and clinicians.

I launched TBH.US in 2016 in response to urgent workforce challenges and gaps in access to care. As one of the first fully digital behavioral health practices in the U.S., and among the earliest adopters of the “Direct-to-Consumer” telemedicine model, we pioneered a virtual care system designed to reach underserved communities and provider-shortage areas. Today, TBH.US delivers outpatient mental health and substance use treatment across 11 states, serving individuals aged 7 and up. We are credentialed with over 45 payers, including Medicare and Medicaid, and operate 100% virtually.

Our model is grounded in clinical integrity, sustainable practice, and provider support, offering clinicians flexible schedules, competitive compensation, and reduced administrative burden. We are proud to operate as a facility-less, woman-owned, and environmentally conscious organization that continuously evolves to meet the needs of our communities while honoring the clinicians who serve them.

In my leadership role with MHPEA, a nonprofit created by and for licensed mental health professionals across disciplines, I work to address the systemic issues threatening our field. Our advocacy targets insurance overreach, unsustainable reimbursement structures, and the growing loss of provider autonomy due to private equity and venture capital influence. I contribute to national strategy, legislative efforts, and media campaigns that elevate clinician voices, protect the workforce, and defend ethical care models.

I hold a Master of Social Work from Grand Valley State University, where I’ve also served as an Adjunct Instructor. I'm passionate about mentoring the next generation of clinicians in Motivational Interviewing, Neurodiversity-affirming practices, Outcome-Oriented Treatment, and Trauma-Informed Care.

Outside of work, I find balance do my best meditation in my Moxi skates on Michigan’s scenic trails. As a neurodivergent human, skating is my "special area of interest." It’s the best thing ever. I highly recommend it.

If you’re interested in partnering with TelebehavioralHealth.US, supporting MHPEA’s mission, or looking for someone to skate with, I welcome the opportunity to connect.
