I appreciate the challenges involved in building a successful program. Staffing, training, clinical and administrative processes, meeting state requirements - the list goes on and on and decisions and demands are stressful and ongoing. I am here to support you in your growth goals, both individually and organizationally.

Program Consultation

Providing professional consultation for existing DBT programs looking to improve clinical and operational processes in order to achieve maximal operation, meet the fidelity of the model, and provide best services for clients. I also provide consultation to existing organizations that do not offer standard DBT and would like to add it to their services. There is no doubt DBT is needed and that it works when the model is met faithfully. I am excited to support the building and development of DBT programs all over Minnesota!

Individual Consultation

Already a DBT clinician and wanting to start the individual national certification process? I’m proud to say I’ve been through it! I’m so grateful for my experience in the certification process, as it helped me reach a new level in my practice. I remember wishing to consult with someone when I was in the process and I would be elated to be a support to anyone on the path to certification.

Experience

I have been a mental health clinician since 2008 and have worked in the field since 2004. I played a significant role in developing and starting the first adherent DBT program at Hennepin Healthcare (HCMC) from 2018-2021. I saw that program through State Certification by Minnesota Department of Human Services and subsequently the program received National Certification with the DBT Linehan Board of Certification (DBT-LBC). In 2024 Tiny Tree Counseling obtained certification by the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
