Education - Shifting Center

Education

for providers & organizations

Supporting others’ learning is one of my number one passions, and I feel grateful to have had opportunities to work with a wide range of groups and organizations. I started my teaching career in psychology graduate programs, and from there I branched out to provide trainings to educational institutions, medical systems, grassroots organizations, non-profits, startups, and the corporate sector. Frequently requested training topics include:

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from a trauma-informed, intersectional, anti-oppression lens
Gender identity and gender diversity, awareness and inclusion of trans and/or nonbinary people/communities
Sexual orientation diversity, awareness and inclusion of LGBQ+ people/communities
Eating disorders and food/body concerns
Navigating cultural differences in relationships
Clinical and ethical challenges of managing dual/multiple relationships in small communities
Creating and maintaining healthy boundaries

Get in touch

When meeting with new clients interested in training or workshops, I like to learn about past and current challenges, the context/culture of the event or organization, and main goals and hopes. Some trainings are more didactic, while others are more interactive, but opportunities for personal growth and self-reflection are always integrated. I aim to be friendly and accessible in training and to help people to connect to the material both cognitively and emotionally. I am available for individual trainings as well as those offered in a series.
