Presentations, Trainings & Consultation on Trauma & Domestic Violence

Your team, your community, or your organization is ready to do better by the people you serve. I’m here to help make that happen.

Gun Violence Prevention

As a Moms Demand Action volunteer in Tarrant County and an active researcher in gun violence prevention, I also offer presentations on firearm safety, secure storage, and the intersection of gun violence and intimate partner violence.

Professional Consultation

I offer one-on-one and group consultation for mental health professionals, educators, and organizations looking to strengthen their work in:

  • Trauma-informed practice and clinical skill development

  • Domestic violence and intimate partner violence cases

  • Cultural competence and identity-affirming care

  • Family violence and complex family systems

  • Self-care and sustainability for helping professionals

 

Consultation is available for individual practitioners as well as agency-wide teams.

Fees

  • Presentations & Trainings: Fees vary based on length, format, travel, and audience size. Please contact me to discuss your needs and get a quote.

  • Professional Consultation: $200/hour based on scope and depth.

I’m happy to work with organizations on scheduling, format (virtual or in-person), and content customization.

What People Can Expect

My trainings aren’t lectures. I bring real clinical experience, current research, and a direct, engaging style that helps people actually absorb and apply what they’re learning. My goal is always the same: to leave your team better equipped to support the people they serve.
