I’m a licensed clinical social worker, trauma therapist, group practice owner, and clinical director with 15+ years of experience in mental health. My focus has always been on helping individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and relational wounds, using an integrative approach that combines body-based work, attachment-informed care, and depth psychology.

I’ve trained extensively in trauma treatment, including:

- Certified Consultant in EMDR through [EMDRIA]

- Author of EMDR for Anxiety available on [Amazon]

- 3 years of training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy through the [Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute]

- Training in levels I & II Internal Family Systems (IFS) through the [IFS Institute]

Additionally, I consult with experts in somatic psychotherapy, attachment theory, and the neurobiology of trauma.

I began my career in community mental health, working with at-risk youth and families, and later transitioned into private practice.

Today, I own Integrative Psych, a trauma-focused group practice in Long Island, NY, where I mentor and supervise a dedicated team of clinicians committed to healing work.

This Trauma Training is designed for those who are eager to deepen their clinical expertise, enhance their existing skills, and make a lasting impact in their professional and personal lives.

By joining, you'll not only expand your ability to bring nuanced relief to your clients, but you’ll also gain mastery over the techniques that are proven to heal trauma. Many of those who participate in this program are leaders in the field or use their newfound knowledge to promote trauma healing in their communities, with their loved ones, and in their practice.

As an educator, my passion lies in bridging the gap between theory and practice—offering therapists science-based, practical training that’s both actionable and sustainable.

Trauma is healable. Our clients need informed, compassionate care, and as therapists, we deserve to feel equipped and supported in guiding them.

I am here to support you in continuing this meaningful work!

This training is for mental health professionals who work with people, one one-on-one, in a group setting, or in any other therapeutic role e.g. Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (working clinically), Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Art Therapists.This is right for you if you:Want to expand your professional skill set in treating clients with simple to multifaceted trauma.

Want to identify and implement clear boundaries that support the client- therapist relationship.Are unsure how to keep treatment on track when a client is facing a blockageFeel insecure in your work and are wondering if your clients are experiencing adequate relief.Need accountability and community to grow into your role as a trauma specialist.

You will get a deep understanding of how to work with trauma, how to pick up on the nuances of trauma in your clients (the ones who present with it and are conscious of it, and those who are not), and be able to provide better clinical care.Good therapy is not only about intervention, it is also about assessments and attunment of the therapist who knows how to identify the primary treatment needs of the client.This training will help you develop a Trauma Informed Lens so that you create a treatment plan that allows for more efficient and effective therapy.

You will also learn interventions including mind-body somatic interventions, cognitive interventions, "parts work" as well as expressive arts and attachment informed interventions. Each module has exercises and handouts for you to use as psychoeducation as well as tools and ideas to use in your very next session!

I'm so glad you asked! At the beginning of the course, we have you fill out a self assessment so we get a real sense of where you're at, what you're hoping to gain and what you're already really skilled at.We re-administer the assessment at the end of the course to track your growth, and what you gained in this course.We want to help you notice your own growth as you expand your confidence, wisdom and skills.

We also want you to be able to notice the smaller, yet equally significant, gains of deepening the knowledge you may have already known, while solidifying your clinical voice.

We are open to feedback and input as we want to be sure you are getting exactly what you need from this course.For some of you, some of this will be a deepening of what you know, while gaining new skills, and for others, this will all be new and you'll digest it at a pace that's right for you.
