Workshops & Trainings

I receive consistent feedback that I am a knowledgeable, relatable and engaging presenter and facilitator. I enjoy providing interactive presentations/workshops on many topics, including:

• Bridging the gap in your staff: Case conceptualization and relational treatment from a Trauma-informed lens

• Incorporating body-centered techniques into your relational/psychodynamic practice

• The Power of Presence: self-regulation and co-regulation in the therapeutic space

• Demystifying dissociation: understanding dissociation, identifying and working with it in the clinical space, and what you need to know to ethically treat it in your practice

• Strategies for attuned caregiving: an attachment-informed framework for working with caregivers and children

• Window of Tolerance: a framework for understanding the imperative of regulation and working in presence in treatment

Integrated Practices for Treating Trauma Groups

For over 15 years, I have been facilitating Level I, Level II, and Ongoing Integrated Practices for Healing from Trauma (IP) groups for clients. As a co-creator of these trauma groups, we focus on understanding the neurobiological effects of trauma, traumatic activation and body-centered practice that support healing.

I also offer workshops for clinicians looking to understand the work of IP and deepen their own capacities for presence through the practices, to provide trauma-informed care.

In addition to therapy, I provide clinical consultation, half- and full-day, and ongoing trainings to other therapists, developing clinicians, and to organizations, helping them integrate relationally grounded, trauma-informed and body-centered practices into their work.

Group Practices and Agencies:

Would you like to bring a clinical organizing structure to your staff?

Would your staff benefit from training around an aspect of clinical practice?

Staff moral is increased in communities that share clinical values and conversation, a sense of enduring purpose, and ongoing growth as professionals. This also builds reputation and confidence among colleagues.

Would your therapists, who bring to one another expertise from varied clinical backgrounds, benefit from training and ongoing clinical support toward sharing together a growth-oriented approach to treatment?

I provide single and multi-day workshops and teaching models, which can be further supported by ongoing bi-weekly/monthly/quarterly consultations to your staff, tailored to meet the needs of your team, including:

• What it means to be trauma-informed

  • Many options here to bring an organizing structure to your agency that educates staff on how to assess for and organize around developmental trauma and how to work with it in treatment

• Relational Treatment: an exploration of the model and its use in outpatient treatment

• Trauma Informed Treatment: Assessment and Treatment via a Collaborative Frame

• Adding in couples/relationship work to your individual practice: where to start, what to know, how to create a framework

• Incorporating a better understanding of using yourself and the relationship between client and clinician as the access route to lasting change
