I Help Organizations and Families Create Human-Centered Change—From the Boardroom to the Living Room


I’m a mental health advocate, clinic owner, author, and customer experience strategist committed to designing more compassionate systems—whether that’s in healthcare, business, or the home.

My journey began in corporate customer experience (CX), where I helped companies drive revenue, reduce costs, and improve culture through analytics-driven strategies. Today, I combine that expertise with my personal mission: to make mental health care more accessible, conversations more open, and healing more human.

Through my book Hope Starts at Home, speaking engagements, and my work as the owner of an Ellie Mental Health clinic, I support organizations, parents, and communities in creating real, measurable impact.

My Evolving Focus & Impact

  1. Author & Speaker – Launching Hope Starts at Home, a guide for parents and teens navigating mental health. Now speaking globally on grief, healing, and family-centered advocacy. As a trained dancer, I also add movement into my work as a powerful form of expression and emotional healing.

  2. Mental Health Entrepreneurship – Own and operate an Ellie Mental Health clinic in Missouri, focused on improving patient and provider experiences.

  3. CX Innovation & Culture Strategy – Leverage experience in customer experience leadership to help organizations design emotionally intelligent, human-first journeys that drive both loyalty and well-being.

  4. Advocacy-Driven Leadership – Champion mental health equity through storytelling, system reform, and values-based leadership that prioritizes both people and performance.

​

Why It Matters
This work is deeply personal. After losing my sister to suicide and walking alongside my children in their own mental health journeys, I saw firsthand how broken and isolating the system can be.

That’s why I now speak, write, and build from both sides of the equation—clinical systems and family lived experience—helping others bridge the gap between pain and support, chaos and care.

 

Let’s Work Together
Whether you're a healthcare organization, a school, a corporate team, or a parent-led group, I bring a unique blend of strategic insight and heart-centered storytelling to every conversation. Let’s create lasting change—together.
