Consultation & Training
When we build comprehensive systems of care, we create the conditions for youth and families to thrive. Thank you for your interest in partnering in this work!
I offer consultation and training grounded in years of experience working in schools, primary care, hospitals, and community settings in the United States and internationally.
My approach is collaborative: I take the time to understand the unique needs of an individual, group, or organization and develop a tailored plan that reflects your goals and priorities.
If you’re interested in exploring consultation or training services, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute call. This allows us to discuss your goals, clarify your needs, review rates and determine how I can best support your work.
