Through this work, she completed extensive training in suicide risk assessment, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), collaborative safety planning and non-violent crisis intervention.

Her experience supporting individuals in crisis has also led to additional work with first responders, healthcare professionals, and individuals experiencing burn out, compassion fatigue, and secondary traumatic stress.

• Somatic Approaches

• Play Therapy

• Trauma Focused CBT
