Experience:
Since 2014, I have been an organizational development consultant to mental health nonprofit organizations, particularly those serving LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. As a consultant, I have experience in program development, systems and operations development, quality assurance, clinical services, fund development (grants & contracts), committee development, board development, strategic planning, diversity, equity and inclusion, training, and various other special projects. My experience has come from working in several mental health nonprofit organizations for more than 15 years in various direct service and administrative positions, including as a co-founder and board member.
Since 2019, I have offered consultation to organizations, clinics, and private or group therapy practices interested in launching or building their practice, particularly those who want to add Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to their services.
