Training
I have presented to hundreds of small and large groups in Oregon and occasionally in Washington state.
I provide comprehensive training on various topics that highlight the importance of curiosity and respect for our clients' experiences and on the inner and practical life of helpers. My aim is to educate therapists and community workers on integrating liberatory, client-informed, collaborative, creative, and humane perspectives into their practice. The trainings are suitable for local, county, and State programs, and the audience typically includes public health workers, lawyers, probation officers, nurses, social workers, human service managers, peer professionals, and animal care professionals. The trainings equip participants with the skills to offer trauma-informed and highly skilled client-centered services.
Training Topics (not limited to this list)
How to work collaboratively with people who are mandated to participate in services
How to co-advocate with clients to inform and address program policy change processes
Trauma Informed Care Series (9 hours)
Training for new therapists or social workers: confidence building through values, recognizing mistakes as necessary for learning, managing "Imposter Syndrome", collaborative care, and preparing for distress
How to run basic support groups or team meetings
Trauma-Informed Supervision for Supervisors
Specialized training for working with those who experience extreme mind states, sometimes known as severe and persistent mental illness
Supervision for Clinical Social Work Associates
Group Supervision: In Winter 2026, I will be offering a group for CSWA supervision hours.
These sessions will me the CSWA criteria for clinical supervision, emphasizing critical social work principles, psychodynamic and attachment-based foundations and providing practical skill building. All groups will be contextualized within our current social and political circumstances.
