Specialized Post-Graduate
Psychotherapy Trainings
Some of my notable past training events can be explored below. In addition, I continue to develop my clinical skills and expertise through ongoing training and individual clinical supervision.
It is also very important to me from a personal standpoint, that I regularly engage in my own independent learning and reflection to ensure that I am culturally informed, anti-racist and anti-oppressive. This is an ongoing practice for me and is a value I am very committed to upholding.
