Continuing Education
In 2025, I will offer live, in-person, and live online training on the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of hoarding disorder.
Sign up for my monthly newsletter, below, to be among the first to know when and where these trainings will happen.
“Finding clinical and professional skills training and ongoing consultation regarding clients with hoarding behaviors is exceptionally challenging. I’m passionate about lasting change via continuing education and consultation to ensure more well-trained clinicians to address this issue in the counseling and social services professions.”

My Approach & Philosophy
MY APPROACH & PHILOSOPHY
Hoarding disorder and the individuals who have it remain highly stigmatized. While media coverage of cases has been beneficial to bring this disorder to public awareness (this is how I first learned about the issue despite having a lifelong, up-close experience of this disorder), most of the continuing representation of the disorder focuses on the clutter. Hoarding disorder is about much more than clutter.
My trainings are designed to reduce the stigma associated with HD and bring dignity to the individuals, families, and communities impacted and the providers who are passionate about helping them.
Training includes hands-on activities, breakout sessions for functional assessment, treatment planning, and discussion of unique ethical dilemmas inherent in treating a disorder that focuses on downsizing an individual’s possessions.
