Training

I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it.

Vincent Van Gogh

My passion for learning, for ongoing professional growth, and for in-depth understanding of adult learning principles guides my training design. For more than 20 years I have developed curricula and facilitating trainings on a wide range of topics for behavioral health providers, criminal justice staff, and educators. Topics include mindfulness, trauma- and resilience-informed care, crisis de-escalation, and equity and inclusion. 

I offer practical insights and tools for cultivating self- and systemic awareness and understanding. I enhance learning by blending training modalities with an emphasis on experiential and skill-building practices. Training and curricula are tailored to individual environments and needs. Training effectiveness is assessed to adjust and improve delivery methods. 

Training and workshops are available both virtually and in person.
