I've been working at The Family Institute for 21 years. Joining this organization was an outstanding decision, no regrets — The Family Institute's mission and values mirror my belief system, and I like our dedication to educating and training young marriage and family therapists to be excellent clinicians and thought leaders in the field. We have a lot of superstars in the field of marriage and family therapy here, and to be able to rub shoulders with them has been a wonderful experience for me. I would encourage anyone to come to The Family Institute. It's a very supportive and validating place to work.

In my tenth year at The Family Institute, I'm still excited to be here. With so many skilled colleagues up and down the halls, I'm able to tap into the best thinking that others have to offer. Behavioral health has become too complex for any one of us to know all the best practices, and so collaborating with my co-workers is a huge advantage in doing my best work.

I’ve always envisioned The Family Institute as the “gold standard” within behavioral mental health. Working alongside some of the world’s top leaders in research, education, and clinical expertise opens doors to be both inspired and challenged as a professional. I strongly value the flexibility to collaborate with clients from various life paths while engaging in evidence-based practices that improve the collective health of our communities. As a full-time therapist and mom of two kids, I am grateful for a workplace that supports me thriving both personally and professionally.
