Courses & Webinars

  • Practical Trauma Informed Care (TIC) for Healthcare

    Suitable for healthcare providers and frontline workers, this course will provide you with the practical tools and knowledge needed to support your clients (and yourself!) to better achieve outcomes, even and especially if your specialty is not mental health. This is a comprehensive course that goes beyond just TIC, with additional topics like clinician self-care and more.

  • Self-Compassion for Healthcare Communities

    This resource-building program is an evidence-based protocol shown to reduce burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and depression in healthcare providers while improving self-compassion and mindfulness. Offered as a 6-week series of 1-hour sessions or as a single full-day workshop in-person or live-online. Private bookings for teams or clinics only at this time.

  • Addressing Suicide in Clinical Practice

    Occupational therapists and occupational therapist assistants in every area of practice will encounter clients at risk for suicide. As a result, clinicians and educators need support in providing a comprehensive approach with tools and resources across the spectrum of suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. Free resources are also linked at the end of this page.

  • Clinical Inservices & Workshops

    Educational lunch & learns or workshops can be personalized to the makeup and learning needs of your team. Think practical skills & knowledge, facilitated discussion amidst your team, and application time using your own client scenarios. Working privately with teams & clinics allows us to get to the heart of what gets in the way for you and your team’s unique context.

  • My goal is that you will leave any of my courses with something you are excited to apply in your own clinical practice the very next day. To that end, I provide things like sample scripts, handouts, and multimedia resources so that even if you are just beginning, you have supports to help you confidently begin implementing new learnings right away.

  • As adults, we learn through stories and we need things to be relevant to our lives. That is why I weave case scenarios throughout my courses - so you can see exactly how each new nugget applies to you, your clients, and your life!

  • In my courses, whether they are live online OR on-demand, you will have the chance to try things out and get direct feedback from myself and your peers. Most of us are totally isolated in our practice - nobody is observing us to give us feedback. So feedback is an incredible opportunity to further develop your skills.

  • I want to stay connected with you! If you continue to have questions after the course I encourage you to email me or to sign up for professional mentorship. I also love to connect with like-minded clinicians on my social media, where I often post polls and Q+A’s to build our community of allied health practitioners!
