From Clinical Practice to Collaborative Learning

Three crumpled yellow pieces of paper inside a green speech bubble shape, surrounded by scattered yellow lined sheets of paper.

I create trainings and presentations designed to help clinicians build more affirming, inclusive, and trauma-informed practices.
My work centers LGBTQIA+ care, relationship diversity, and neurodivergent-affirming approaches — always with the understanding that trauma impacts how clients show up in the therapy room.

I’m currently developing CEU programs and speaking topics that give mental health professionals practical, real-world strategies they can use immediately with clients. These are not one-size-fits-all lectures, but interactive, reflective learning experiences that leave space for curiosity and honest conversation.

Whether you’re looking for a primer on consensual non-monogamy, guidance on working with transgender clients, or tools for supporting autistic and ADHD adults, my goal is the same: to provide content that is accessible, relevant, and deeply human.

If you’re interested in collaborating, hosting a training, or exploring a custom presentation for your team, I’d love to connect.
