Meet Michelle:

Michelle is a 23-year veteran of crisis, mobile crisis, and co-response work. Graduating with her degree in Clinical Psychology in 1999 and finding her passion for crisis when standing on scene with law enforcement while at her first job, Michelle dedicated her career to what she defines as a specialty in the world of mental health.  Over the past two decades she has worked in prison systems, psychiatric emergency rooms, and alongside law enforcement and EMS. 

She held the position of corporate compliance officer at Fairbanks Hospital for two years and taught for nine years at Indiana University in the School of Psychology. In 2010 she moved to Colorado and is the co-founder of the Aspen Hope Center, the only free-standing crisis agency in state. In 2020 she launched Frontline Crisis Academy and now travels the county consulting and training crisis and co-response teams to meet people where they are, removing barriers to care during psychiatric emergencies.
