Professional Development

Evidence-based professional development and speaking programs for clinicians, educators, schools, universities, and community organizations — tailored to each audience.

What I'm Most Often Asked to Speak On

Every program is shaped by who's in the room- clinicians, educators, campus staff, or community organizations- and what they hope to walk away with. These are the four areas that come up most, though sessions are regularly built to order.

Neuro-Affirming Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

How to practice cognitive behavioral therapy in a way that adapts to how a client actually thinks, communicates, and processes—rather than treating difference as something to fix.

Supporting High-Volume(?) College Students

What counseling centers, disability services, and faculty can do to support students through a transition that asks a great deal of executive function all at once.

Working With Autistic & ADHD Clients

Clinical strategies for children, adolescents, and emerging adults — executive function, masking, sensory needs, rejection sensitivity, and the co-occurring anxiety and depression that often come along.

Self-Compassion & Positive Psychology

Evidence-based tools for building resilience and self-compassion — useful for the young people you work with, and for the people doing the work.
