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 very important to 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 that I am very committed to upholding.
