Supervision & Training.

To learn about current clinicians for whom I am providing supervision, please visit the ‘Current Trainees page.

STAAR DBT

I have been supervising graduate students in DBT and other CBT-oriented treatments for over a decade. I partner with Dr. Erin Miga in running Seattle Training in Adult, Adolescent, and Relationship (STAAR) DBT. AT STAAR, we provide DBT training for practicum students and post-doctoral/post-masters’ fellows. Training includes supervision of individual DBT and DBT Skills Group, participating in a consultation team, and advanced didactics in DBT that places emphasis upon rehearsing DBT treatment strategies. If you are interested in receiving DBT training that aims to prepare you for certification by the Linehan Board of Certification, please complete the submission form below.

Training and community presentations

I am able to provide short-term trainings to groups of clinicians interested in learning or developing greater mastery in delivering DBT. Additionally, I am available to give talks in the community as a means of offering education concerning Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Borderline Personality Disorder, Behavioral Parent Training, treatment of anxiety and depression, and the intersection of Christian belief and mental health challenges. Previous talks I have given include, “Applications of DBT to Peer Mentoring” [for high school students], “Non-Suicidal Self-Injury: Why It Occurs and a DBT-Based Approach to its Treatment,” “Creating a Stabilizing Environment for Interpersonally and Emotionally Dysregulated Counselees” [in a church counseling setting], and “Behavioral Parent Training: Adolescents,” “Effective Use of Parents’ Attention: Promoting Positive Self-image & Behavior”, and “Soul Care Fundamentals” [for lay leaders of men’s support groups].
