Professional Trainings and Workshops

Image by Chris Montgomery

One of my favorite things to do is teach and engage fellow clinicians and leaders in collaborative learning.  I have experience providing trainings both in-person and online, large groups and small.  Not only is this a love, it is a way that I can give back to our profession.

 

The following is only a sampling of available topics.  I am available to present at conferences, trainings, staff meetings, forums.   If you are interested in a topic related to the counseling profession not listed below, feel free to reach out.  If I'm not able to help you, I may know someone who specializes in that area.
