Continuing Education & Clinical Trainings

These continuing education trainings are designed for mental health professionals seeking a more nuanced, clinically grounded, and body-informed approach to working with trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and dissociative processes.

Offerings are rooted in established clinical frameworks, including the theory of structural dissociation, and are informed by somatic perspectives that emphasize pacing, stabilization, and present-moment awareness. The focus is not on technique alone, but on developing clinical sensitivity—how to recognize shifts in state, respond to protective patterns, and support regulation without overwhelming the system.

Trainings are practical and application-oriented, with an emphasis on how this work translates directly into the therapy room. Clinicians will be introduced to ways of working with both cognitive and non-verbal experience, including patterns that may not shift through insight alone.

Ongoing continuing education trainings are offered throughout the year.

Working with Structural Dissociation in Practice: A Somatically-Informed Approach 

An introduction to a practical, somatically-informed approach to working with dissociation in clinical settings. Grounded in the theory of structural dissociation, this training explores how dissociative parts may present as shifts in state, affect, and embodied experience, and how to work with them in a way that is paced, attuned, and stabilization-focused.

Case Consultation Group for Therapists

A small, relational space to think more deeply about your clinical work.

You don’t have to hold it all on your own.

Many therapists are carrying complex cases—clients who feel stuck, work that isn’t shifting, or dynamics that are difficult to fully see from inside the room.

This group is designed to offer a space to slow down, reflect, and gain perspective in a way that feels grounded, collaborative, and clinically meaningful.

About the Group

This is a small case consultation group for therapists and clinicians who are looking for a more thoughtful and relational approach to clinical discussion.

Rather than a performative or overly academic environment, the focus is on:

• real cases
• real questions
• and the lived experience of doing this work

Together, we explore clinical material with curiosity, nuance, and respect for complexity.

Approach

My work integrates Gestalt therapy, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and Yoga Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and eating disorder treatment.

This lens informs how we approach cases—attending not only to cognition and behavior, but also to relational dynamics, nervous system patterns, and embodied experience.

The group remains open and applicable across modalities.

What to Expect

• Bring cases, stuck points, or clinical questions
• Receive thoughtful, grounded feedback
• Hear diverse perspectives from other clinicians
• Deepen your clinical thinking in a supportive environment
