I am available to give trainings or presentations ranging from two hours, to 3 days, to multi-session intensive series on a wide variety of topics from introductory to advanced levels. My trainings combine highly practical interventions with a clear conceptual foundation, in accordance with current research and standard of care for complex developmental trauma disorders. Concepts are always illustrated with a wide range of case examples, and I often incorporate experiential practice of skills and interventions for participants, time permitting. Please see suggested topics below. I am happy to talk with you in detail about which topics and length of presentation might be most helpful for your intended audience.
Generally, several months advance notice is needed to schedule longer workshops, but occasionally shorter presentations with a bit less notice can be accommodated, depending on my schedule and the nature of the presentation. Feel free to contact me to discuss what you would like.
