In addition to being a licensed psychologist, I have a master’s degree in forensic psychology. I was trained to attend to the little details in all of my work, whether a difficult situation, a complex psychiatric presentation, a disorganized physical environment, or a complicated family system. These details, often overlooked, can sustain problematic behavior, prolong interpersonal conflict, and lead to decisions based on emotions, not logic.
Moreover, my behavioral training informs all of my work. This training was strengthened through years of working with individuals with special needs and individuals with serious and persistent mental illness in both clinical and non-clinical settings. Behavioral planning is unique to each consumer, and I believe program development should be viewed similarly: each individual has their own specific needs and the ‘one size fits all’ model can limit one’s true potential.
By acknowledging an individual as a whole person and not a product of mental illness, I’m equipped to allocate resources, provide recommendations, and support taking steps to nurture their mind, body, and soul. The success of any cohesive plan is derived from the active monitoring of goals, ensuring providers are engaged in meaningful dialogue and collaboration, and supporting families to feel equipped to make healthy decisions.
