Workshops and Proffesional Development
Workshops and Proffesional Development
As a psychotherapist with a Master’s in Education and a Master’s in Social Work, I bring a unique "dual-lens" approach to my workshops. Having spent years as a teacher before transitioning into clinical practice, I understand that strategies only work if they are realistic for a busy classroom and sustainable for a busy home.
My workshops are socio-educational—designed to provide educators, students, and parents with the psychological tools needed to foster academic success and emotional resilience.
Professional development focused on "Informed Implementation."
From Confrontation to Co-Regulation: Practical techniques for de-escalating power struggles and maintaining a calm classroom culture.
Behavior as Communication: Shifting the perspective to understand the "why" behind challenging behaviors and how to respond educationally.
Supporting the Anxious Learner: Strategies for identifying and helping students whose emotional hurdles are blocking their academic output.
Reducing Teacher Burnout: Building an "emotional mindset" in school policy to support staff wellness and retention.
Interactive, age-appropriate sessions for Elementary and Middle Schoolers.
The Friendship Toolkit: Navigating social dynamics, conflict resolution, and empathy.
Digital Wellness: Healthy communication and boundaries in the age of phones and social media.
Stress-Busting for School: Simple, effective mindfulness and cognitive tools to handle test anxiety and social pressure.
Collaborative sessions to bridge the home-school connection.
Parenting in the Modern Age: Navigating the unique stressors children face today, from digital safety to academic pressure.
Collaborative Problem Solving: How to work with your child and their school to solve recurring behavioral or emotional issues.
Building Resilience: Practical ways to foster emotional intelligence and independence at home.
Whether you are looking for a keynote for a staff development day, a small-group student intensive, or an engaging parent evening, I tailor every presentation to the specific needs of your community.
