Speaking and Training

I provide engaging, practical, and effective training for mental health professionals, clinical teams, and organizations. My approach focuses on powerful, actionable strategies that clinicians can integrate immediately into their work with clients.

​

Whether you are looking for a deep dive into specific trauma modalities or professional development focused on grief and identity, I offer workshops designed to increase clinical competence and confidence through effective, powerful approaches like clinical hypnosis, Somatic Stress Release, and trauma-informed clinical frameworks. I am available for in-person speaking and training for organizations throughout the Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita areas, and I provide online sessions for clinical teams and organizations throughout California.

​

Beyond clinical training, I also provide workshops for companies and management teams, focusing on fostering inclusive, trauma-informed environments for employees navigating grief, trauma, or LGBTQ+ identity.
