Education and Training


I believe that education and training is our professional responsibility and therefore I pursue my own professional development and offer my expertise to my interdisciplinary colleagues.

I enjoy training colleagues and other collaborating professions important in the mental health field on topics such as: 
  - Professional Self-Care
  - Integrating Meditation and Mindfulness in Therapy
  - Grief and Loss Therapy
  - Therapy for families coping with Chronic/Critical Illness
  - Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

  - Compassion Fatigue - prevention, intervention and professional resiliency

In addition, I offer workshops to companies, schools, businesses, and teams that are looking for an opportunity to reflect and increase self-care, resulting in increased morale, productivity, and collaboration.
  Topics Include:
  - Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction - an evidence based practice, available in full or half day workshops
  - Compassion Fatigue - prevention, intervention and professional resiliency
  - Grief and Loss
  - Vicarious Trauma and Self-Care
  - Overall Wellness
