Who This Consultation Is For
I provide a space for licensed professionals who need more than just theoretical advice. This is for:
Complex Trauma Practitioners: Clinicians working with survivors of any form of trauma who need specialized input on stabilization and wholeness.
Trauma Model Therapy Level 1/2/3 Trained Clinicians: Those seeking additional input or additional clarity regarding what you have learned so far in your TMT training journey.

Trauma Model Therapy Consultants & CITs: Those who are providing TMT consultation to others and need some additional input on what to do or how to advise the clinicians you are consulting with.
What I Can Offer
My consultation style is rooted in my clinician-educator existence as Cofounder of Get Into Your Head Training and Education Director for the Ross Institute.
The TMT Lens: I help you apply the Trauma Model Therapy framework to your most complex cases, focusing on the principles, mindset and techniques.
Specialized Clinical Insight: Deep-dive consultation on the nuances of trauma recovery and the specific challenges of treating Dissociative Disorders.
Trauma Model Therapy Certified Clinicians
Education Director for TMT: I am the person modernizing the TMT training. In my experience, it's really rare to have a chance to talk to the thought leaders in our profession. I think that's silly. I'm just a regular person...who happens to have a mind full of stuff to share. You are amazing in your own right. I'm just here for a little data upload from time to time.
Connection with an Incredible Network: I won't always know what to do. When I don't know how to best help you, I will connect you with the incredible team of TMT Consultants who are skilled and specialized in their own right.
Mastery of Trauma Frameworks: Gain the confidence to treat complex comorbidity and dissociation by moving from Trauma Model Therapy theory to radical, change-making interventions in the treatment room.
