Clinical Consultation

At Root and River Collective, clinical consultation is more than advisory—it's collaborative, strategic, and rooted in a deep understanding of what it takes to build effective, ethical, and trauma-informed clinical programs. With over a decade of experience in behavioral health, I offer consultation services that support agencies, organizations, and clinical teams in strengthening their infrastructure and enhancing the quality of care they provide.

Whether you’re looking to refine documentation practices, expand staff knowledge through targeted training, develop a new program, or evaluate the integrity of your current services, I bring a thoughtful, systems-oriented approach that balances both administrative needs and client-centered outcomes.

Areas of Expertise:

  • Clinical documentation audits & improvement

  • Staff training and clinical development

  • Program design and curriculum creation

  • Chart reviews and quality assurance practices

  • Recovery-based and co-occurring care implementation

  • Trauma-informed service delivery

  • Supervision structure and clinical leadership mentoring

Substance Abuse & Recovery Leadership

My professional foundation is rooted in co-occurring treatment and substance use recovery. I’ve held leadership and administrative roles in intensive outpatient, residential and detoxification settings as Clinical Director for a major recovery center in Albuquerque, NM where I led program development, supervised multidisciplinary teams, and implemented curriculum aligned with evidence-based practices. These experiences have shaped my commitment to building programs that are sustainable, clinically sound, and deeply attuned to the lived experiences of clients.

Public Sector Collaboration

In addition to my work in direct care settings, I have had the privilege of consulting with the New Mexico Department of Health, supporting clinical improvements and preparing programs for Joint Commission accreditation. My consultation included hands-on work with state-run facilities to align their clinical programming with best practices in documentation, trauma-informed care, and integrated substance use treatment.

I also bring experience working within military systems, specifically with the United States Air Force’s ADAPT (Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment) program at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In this role, I provided clinical services, coordinated referrals, and consulted with leadership to improve outcomes and ensure service members received appropriate and effective levels of care.

Consultation Services Include:

  • Clinical record and documentation review

  • Tailored training for staff and leadership teams

  • Program and curriculum development for IOP, PHP, or residential levels of care

  • Policy and procedure development

  • Supervision and mentorship for clinical leaders

  • Strategic planning for clinical growth and compliance

Let’s Collaborate

Every organization has its own culture, strengths, and challenges. I work closely with you to understand the nuances of your team and tailor consultation to meet your specific goals. Whether you’re in the early stages of program development or refining long-standing services, I bring practical insight and a collaborative spirit to help you elevate care and build systems that last.
