Jill joined Center for Discovery after working in a variety of treatment programs, including residential, intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs with children, teens and adults presenting with eating disorders, substance abuse, depression, anxiety and trauma. Jill earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Loyola Marymount University and her Master of Arts degree in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University. During her graduate program, Jill provided psychotherapy to veterans struggling with trauma–related symptoms and substance abuse at a Veterans Affairs–funded program. After graduating, she continued providing support to individuals with co-occurring diagnoses. In her last role as a clinical director, Jill created a curriculum for a mental health and substance abuse track for clients, creating a program that was more intentional with clinical care. She has served as a clinical supervisor at previous treatment programs and is passionate about providing support to associates in order to foster their personal and professional growth. Jill’s therapeutic approach is centered around humanistic, cognitive behavioral and trauma–informed styles. She has received evidence-based practice certifications in cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy for eating disorders, seeking safety train-the-trainer, parent-child interaction therapy and risking connections for trauma. Jill focuses on fostering clients’ natural resiliency, utilizing a strengths-based approach that supports clients in identifying their passions and purpose in life.
