Welcome!
Thank you for visiting this page. I've been a Peer-Reviewed ACT Trainer with the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science since 2016 and have facilitated dozens of in-person and online courses and workshops on ACT and RFT, including at the last several ACBS World Conferences. I also offer individual consultation and training (virtually), which I differentiate from supervision that includes certain legal contingencies in the United States. However, functionally, I view consultation and supervision has having some similarities, namely in meeting you where you're at in your journey as both a practitioner (therapist, coach, behavior analyst, etc.) and learner of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy while fostering your growth within a context that's supportive yet challenging. In both cases, there's also an explicit aim of building one's competency in the ACT model. Depending upon your goals/objectives, such consultation can include conceptual, experiential, and/or practical training on ACT core competencies, fidelity, process-based functional analysis and behavioral interventions, ACT's philosophical and theoretical underpinnings (functional contextualism and relational frame theory), case conceptualization and treatment planning, or context-specific ACT applications, including with certain populations and clinical 'tools' such as the Matrix and Choice Point. Real/role-plays are often integrated into our training/consultation as a means of experimenting with new clinical repertoires and receiving functional feedback - that is, feedback on how interventions 'land' in therapeutic exchanges. And, if you're interested in shaping your overarching therapeutic stance or receiving support with particular "stuck" points that you encounter with certain clients, video recordings (with your client's permission) of session segments can be utilized in consultation. At the heart of our work together would be the embodiment of psychological flexibility - modeling the very processes that we aim to evoke and reinforce in our clients.
Below is a link to a brief introductory video describing much of what is shown above.
