Training & Professional Development

I bring a strong foundation in education, but what really fuels my work is a deep interest in how people learn, grow, and make real change. I’ve continued to train in approaches that help me support clients in practical, respectful, and research-backed ways.

Here’s a snapshot of what I’ve studied:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  I’ve completed over 30 hours of CBT training through the Feeling Good Institute and the Beck Institute, including:

  • CBT for Anxiety

  • CBT for Healthier Habits

  • Level 1 training with Dr. David Burns
    These tools help me support clients in noticing thought patterns that get in the way and building more helpful habits and perspectives.

• Motivational Interviewing (MI)
  MI is at the heart of how I work—with collaboration, not pressure. I’ve taken multiple online MI courses and continue to grow my skills through weekly practice seminars led by Dr. Sky Kershner.
  I use MI to help clients tap into their own motivation and choose goals that feel meaningful to them.

• Executive Function (EF) Skills
  I regularly attend webinars and workshops focused on executive function coaching, staying up to date on what really helps people build structure, focus, and follow-through.
  I especially enjoy working with clients with ADHD, helping them create systems that feel realistic and doable.
