Workshops & Trainings

I am available for teaching and training opportunities for organizations, classrooms, healthcare facilities, university counseling centers, startups, retreats, and other group learning environments.

 
 

I help people and organizations grow in their knowledge and skills around topics like:

▹ LGBTQ+ competent care in a variety of settings, environments, and communities

▹ Attachment theory and its applications for parents, caregivers, and families

▹ Polyvagal theory and its applications for self-healing and relationships

▹ Polyvagal theory and its applications for teachers in the classroom

▹ Polyvagal theory and its applications for business leaders and organizations

▹ Polyvagal theory and its applications for new or expecting parents/caregivers

  • What is Attachment Theory?

    Attachment Theory explains that we come into this world wired to connect. We experience a felt sense of safety and security when the caregivers in our environment offer us consistent, predictable, physical and emotional safety. When we don’t experience this felt safety, we can develop insecurities in our relationships that carry on into adulthood. Presence and attunement from safe others is a biological requirement from cradle to grave, and whether or not we receive it quite literally shapes our neurological development and long term outlooks for both our physical and mental health. Secure attachment is the ultimate resource through which we can build competence and resilience for thriving in an uncertain world.

  • What is Polyvagal Theory?

    Polyvagal Theory examines the inner-workings of our autonomic nervous system, and explains that we shift from one “state” to another in response to cues for either safety or danger in our environment. These shifts carry with them subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) changes to our thoughts, behaviors, physiology and sensory input - all of which influence how we show up in our relationships, roles, and communities. A deeper understanding of how these shifts work can lead to profound change. We all have the opportunity to learn how to better support our autonomic nervous system such that we experience more peace and connection in our lives and relationships.
