Impactful, personalized professional development for teachers, schools, and more

I’m here to help you integrate trauma-informed principles and strategies into your classroom, school, or organization.

I bring care, resourcefulness, and dedication to my work with teachers, schools, and community groups so you can start or sustain your trauma-informed journey. Whether you’re looking for a one-time consultation or an ongoing partnership, a semester-long course or a guided book study, let’s build a learning relationship together.

Courses and Workshops for Teachers

Each fall and spring semester, I teach online graduate courses for educators through VTSU Center for Schools and Antioch University. These courses are designed for K-12 teachers but counselors, administrators, and other school staff are welcome. 

I also occasionally facilitate online pay-what-you-can workshops on rotating topics related to trauma-informed education. Upcoming workshops will be listed here, and you can sign up for my newsletter to stay updated about new offerings.

Professional Development Workshops for Schools, College & Community Groups

I offer active, engaging learning experiences for educators in K-12 and higher education settings. I customize workshops to the needs of your group, plan collaboratively, and provide resources for further learning. 

My favorite way to facilitate learning is in small cohorts over a period of time – let’s talk about how this could look for your school or organization.

Core Workshops:

  • Four priorities of trauma-informed education

  • Sustaining your work with trauma-informed boundaries 

  • Foundations of equity-centered trauma-informed education

  • How is trauma present in our school? Identifying priorities for trauma-informed changemaking  

  • Structured book study for Equity-Centered Trauma-Informed Education or Becoming an Everyday Changemaker 


I offer flexible pricing so schools and districts with a range of budgets can access professional learning. Get in touch to schedule or to develop a customized option for your school or group.

Keynotes

I’d love to keynote your next conference or event. My keynotes weave together stories, research, and practice, and serve as a call to action for educators to become trauma-informed changemakers.

Sample keynote topics include:

  • Unconditional Positive Regard: A Powerful Equity Stance

  • The Four Priorities of Trauma-Informed Education

  • Centering Equity in Trauma-Informed Education

  • Unlocking the Magic of Slowing Down to Make Change at School

Book Study Q&A Visits

Consultation, Coaching, and Curriculum Review

Looking for a thought partner? Need some deeper conversation rather than a workshop? I can help you think through the complexities of implementing trauma-informed education and plan for success. Examples include:

  • Support for equity-centered trauma-informed education implementation in your unique school setting

  • Principal/leadership coaching as you create a trauma-informed work environment for teachers

  • Small group work with your leadership team to develop capacity for trauma-informed practices

  • Curriculum, policy or document review for alignment with equity-centered trauma-informed principles 

 I approach this work by building a relationship with you and designing a plan that will meet your needs. I offer a sliding scale hourly rate based on your school or organization’s budget.

Not a teacher or a K-12 school?

I love working with education-related individuals and groups that are outside the K-12 school environment. For example, I’ve supported a medical school to evaluate their policy through a trauma-informed lens, provided workshops on trauma-informed boundaries to community services organizations, and conducted a curriculum review in the hospitality industry for food and beverage professionals. Trauma-informed practices can apply to pretty much anywhere you work with humans. Connect with me to learn more about how I can support your work, no matter the setting.
