CONSULTATION AND INSTRUCTION
Ongoing consultation is a professional and ethical obligation for clinical providers, but it is not always easy to obtain. Increasing clients' access to effective treatment is rewarding to me, and helping providers to feel confident delivering these treatments is part of that process. I bring my enthusiasm for trauma work and sleep concerns to my consultation relationships.
I have been providing instruction and consultation in evidence-based practice since 2012. I'm proud to have collaborated with individual providers, community mental health centers, hospitals and medical centers, military treatment facilities, and national security organizations. Every consultee has unique goals, so I work to devise a program that will best meet their needs.
CONSULTATION
Consultation takes many forms, ranging from occasional phone calls, to scheduled monthly video chats, to formal consultation cohorts for larger organizations. Common consultation topics include working with multiple traumas, calculating sleep logs, and implementing treatments such as CPT and PE.
INSTRUCTION
I provide instruction in evidence based practices to small and large groups of clinicians. Workshops can be scheduled virtually or in-person. Length varies from several hours to multiple days, depending on your goals and needs.
