Learning and growing together.
Strengths-based consultation with your goals in mind.
I pull from my years of experience teaching counseling coursework, supervising, and practicing as a counselor, to assess your strengths and needs before tailoring an individual or group approach that best fits your goals. I have experience with over twenty presentations at a local, regional, and national level, and strive to bring modern and research-based content to workshops and presentations. I can tailor trainings to meet organizations, individuals, and communities from a variety of fields, ranging from fellow mental health professionals to community members wanting to learn more. Lastly, I believe the best consultations and presentations are collaborative and pragmatic. We won’t just spend all of our time talking theoreticals— instead, together we will identify clear takeaways and practical skills you can apply.
Possible Topics
Power in Counseling
Power is everywhere, in everything we do. We’ll look at how power shows up in your systems and professional roles. We can talk about ways to undermine harmful power structures, build power through advocacy, and create a culture of transparency and collaboration.
Client-Centered Counseling Practice
Informed by research and professional experience, I’ll help you make your counseling more client-centered. We can examine your therapeutic skills, your practice policies, and even your process of diagnosis and assessment— all with the goal of helping clients feel seen and heard.
Geek Therapy
Growing research celebrates diverse geeky approaches to counseling, including using video games, tabletop roleplaying games, books, movies, and fandoms in counseling. I’ll provide research-based suggestions for geek therapy integration in a way that fits your practice.
Trauma
Trauma-informed care is a necessity in all behavioral-health care. I can provide a workshop on the fundamentals of trauma, or help assess and strengthen your practice’s trauma-focused approach. I specialize in relational and expressive forms of trauma therapy, and am happy to train in these areas.
Media in Mental Health
Whether you’re curious about how to utilize social media as a counselor, or want to better address mental health concerns around social media and entertainment media, I’ll pull from research and practice to help you strengthen your approach.
Gender-Based Oppression
We’ll take a look at gender from a societal, interpersonal, and intrapersonal perspective to better the phenomenon of gender-based violence. For counselors, we can focus on how to address gender-based violence in counseling.
Effective Community Building Skills
Building upon my experience in counseling and counseling education, as well as robust research in relational leadership approaches, I can tailor a workshop that centers how to strengthen community, address power differentials, and create a shared vision.
