Training and Education

One of my favorite parts about being a therapist is learning more each year about the best models and approaches to therapy. This helps me be the best therapist I can for my clients.

This is a shortened list of some of the trainings I have completed that are usually of interest to clients to better understand various areas of specialization I have worked toward.
