Workshops, Trainings, and Speaking Engagements

I provide trauma-informed, systems-based workshops, trainings, and speaking engagements for professionals, organizations, and groups working in complex and emotionally intense environments. With over 12 years of experience delivering trainings and conference presentations nationally and internationally (Nigeria, Uganda, and South Africa), my work bridges a Bowen Family Systems Theory framework with trauma-sensitive principles.

A central focus of my work is presenting the ways that anxiety moves through relational systems and how differentiation, boundaries, emotional regulation, and leadership presence can shape outcomes in high-stress circumstances. Trainings are grounded in current research and are designed to support professional and personal development, stir up systems thinking and curiosity, encourage ethical best practices, and promote continuing education.

Areas of Specialty and Expertise:

  • Human Trafficking: Dynamics, Impact, and Survivor-Centered Responses from a Systems Perspective

  • Applying a Bowen Family Systems Theory Framework to Clinical Settings, Human Trafficking Dynamics, and Organizational Systems

  • Recognizing and Managing Vicarious Trauma, Burnout, Chronic Anxiety, and Compassion Fatigue as a Professional in the Field

  • How to Navigate and Assess for Crisis Responses for Families, Couples, and Individuals in High Stress Situations

  • Research on Posttraumatic Growth Experiences in Trauma Survivors

  • Exploring Differentiation of Self for Clinicians and “Helping” Professionals
