About Me
I am, first and foremost, a family member who has personal experience caring for, supporting, navigating treatment, care, and services for a loved one with long-term serious mental health challenges. I've worked in mental health advocacy, family peer support, and high-fidelity wraparound since 2007, working directly with individuals and families, as well as implementing and supervising family peer support programs.
I’ve developed State curriculum, trained,
certified, and coached those working in family peer support and high-fidelity wraparound. I’ve also worked closely with mental health courts in Utah, helping them implement peer and family peer support.
This vast experience has afforded me the opportunity to work with many different agencies and observe the differences in outcomes between those who implement
transformational practices, including ‘wraparound approach to care’ and peer and family peer support programming, and those who don’t. I am passionate about working with providers and agencies who are interested in improving clinical impact, increasing client engagement, and enhancing sustainable positive outcomes by implementing the transformational practices of the wraparound approach to care and implementing authentic peer and family peer support programming.
