Background

Tina is a consultant, professor and the program director for the Center for Human Development’s Institute for Dynamic Living. She enjoys creating and implementing innovative programs using a variety of service delivery models. Her most recent initiatives include the creation of nurturing and healing treatment systems of care, the application of nonlinear dynamic systems theory to clinical practice and organizational change, and working to establish research in these areas. She has published and presents on her work in the areas of trauma and attachment-informed care and the use of sensory-based and integrative approaches to support recovery.

Tina has consulted with and presented for numerous mental health organizations and OT associations across the country on state, national, and international levels. She has been on the faculty of the National Technical Assistance Center for State Mental Health Planning for the National Executive Technical Institute: Creating Violence Free and Coercion Free Mental Health Treatment Environments for the Reduction of Seclusion and Restraint and has provided resources that have been integrated into the course’s teaching and resource manuals.

In 2006, she received the Catherine Anne Trombly Award from the MA Occupational Therapy Association for innovation in the areas of practice, education, and research in mental health. She has also received the 2005 Irene Allard Outstanding Fieldwork Educator Award from the New England Occupational Therapy Education Council.
