TRAINING & CONSULTING

In my years as a therapist and trauma expert, I have seen a need to support other therapist in their work in a twofold way – both in their professional work and also supporting them personally so that they have the mental capacity to serve at their highest level.

To support practitioners with their professional work:
To support practitioners with their professional work: I offer consulting on a customized basis to meet the needs of the situation. My areas of speciality are in trauma with complex presentations, cases of clients with strong dissociative disorders, and using multiple approaches and methods to support individuals. I can help therapists and practitioners who are not sure how to approach a situation with a client, or who are looking for more guidance on their work with particular clients.

I have a background in victim advocation, working as a therapist in a clinical and private setting, and after being in private practice for many years, I have pursued training and continual improvement.

The areas I help my clients in the most are through consultation on complex trauma, parts work and ego state work, EMDR consultation, and at times – clinical supervision.

THERAPY & SUPPORT

To support practitioners in their personal growth and healing journey: 

I realize that to hold such space for our clients who are experiencing complex trauma and rapid growth, that holding space for ourselves as practitioners can be difficult to prioritize. 

As a mental health provider, it can be a challenge to bring your own nervous system back to baseline and to discharge the secondary trauma you hold as you help your clients work through their own healing. This isn’t as simple as practicing “self care” or just distancing yourself mentally from the work that you do with your clients. Real support and tools can help you bring your nervous system back to baseline and help you regulate so that you can show up at your highest capacity for your clients and more importantly – for yourself. 

If you are looking for therapy or mentorship from a therapist who is a few steps ahead of you on your path, then it would be my privilege to work with you and support your work alongside of you, 

As we know that therapy is not just understanding our past, but holding open possibilities for our future. I want to help you open the door to the possibilities of your future and be equipped mentally and holistically for the road ahead.
