Professional Development & Clinical Training |
|
I provide trainings on a variety of topics. My clinical sessions focus on stress and trauma, child development, parent-child strategies, and clinical interventions. In addition, I apply my clinical knowledge of human interaction to leadership and team development. I have worked with direct care staff, middle managers and C-level executives on the advancement of their leadership development and team wellness.
Participants are taught skills and strategies they can put into action right away. I create and tailor sessions and courses to the specific needs of the organization and individuals with whom I am collaborating. Every training is rooted in the importance of meaningful connections. Fostering a positive, educational, safe and fun learning environment for all participants is the goal. |

Trauma Responsive Organizational Development
Consultation can be provided to organizations looking to shape their organizational culture in Trauma Informed and Responsiveness Care. This is a collaborative process between the organizations and myself, to determine needs, strengths and areas for growth. An organizational assessment is completed to determine current areas of strengths and challenges related to being a trauma informed organization. A plan is developed with the organization, to move them towards becoming more trauma mindful in approaches, strategies and procedures.

Leadership Development
Leadership training is conducted with organizational teams to help strengthen current skills, while developing new skills and strategies for success. My approach focuses on working with leaders to increase their knowledge of the importance of human connecting in leadership. As skills are strengthened and new ones developed, a team's wellness increases, resulting in higher levels of productivity, effectiveness and positive communication. The strength of the organization lies within the capabilities of the leaders! |
