I believe healing is rooted in connection, safety, and the right support, and that as therapists, we are always growing. In honoring the depth of this work, I’ve pursued advanced trainings to expand my knowledge and more fully embody the integrity, compassion, and presence it calls for. These trainings reflect my committment to healing through a trauma-informed, relational lens, integrating neuroscience, attachment theory, and the lived realities of those I serve. They continue to shape how I practice — with skill, intention, and heart.
Below is a selection of specialized trainings I’ve completed, offered as a glimpse, not the entirety.
