I am available to work with individuals, government agencies, cities, non-profit and for-profit corporations to develop strategies for increasing access to person-centered and effective evidence-based treatments for substance use disorders and mental health disorders. I use a mixed-methods approach with a team of subject matter and research experts.
I have led development, implementation and/or evaluation of mobile health applications, patient/provider health portals, health workforce education programs, patient/client education programs, criminal justice administration education programs, and person-centered care operationalization. Additionally, I have extensively participated in evaluations of federal and state-level policies, such as prescription drug monitoring programs, opioid prescribing laws, and medication-assisted treatment regulation.
Finally, I am available to organize and conduct lectures about health policy, health services, and/or substance use disorder treatment.
