Trauma Training Focused on You

Learning the skills to work with challenging presentations of trauma can be overwhelming - even more so in a large, chaotic environment. I offer intensive and focused trainings in a small group format, ensuring my trainees will be able to better apply these critical skills confidently, fluently, and ethically.

Benefits of the Aurora Training Programs

Small-Group Approach

My trainings are designed for small-group learning. Small class sizes means I will be able to focus more on your learning and clinical interests; you can expect to leave my trainings with greater confidence in your skills and how to best integrate them into your work   

Progressively Oriented

All trainings are built on the principles of equity, inclusion, and respect. As a secular organization, Aurora is open and affirming of individuals regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, disability, or religion; our training also focuses on how institutionalized marginalization manifests as trauma.

Practical Focus

Our trainings are designed to give you practical, tangible direction for your clinical work. Placing a focus on skills to address dissociation, neurodivergent processing, avoidance, and active substance use will help you develop your own toolbox for addressing these issues.

EMDR Basic Training

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is the leading therapeutic model for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and other trauma-related conditions. It has also been shown to be an effective treatment for other conditions, including addiction, anxiety and mood disorders, and personality disorders.

At Aurora, we teach clinicians this effective approach in a small-group setting. This means more time practicing, more space to ask questions, and more room to explore how this approach can transform your practice and clients.

What the F***: Language and Trauma

  • 6 CEUs, Ethics
  • Virtual Training
Our words are the bricks that construct our reality, influencing how we understand the world. That's why it's vital to ensure that the language we choose for discussing symptoms, diagnoses, and therapeutic concepts isn't just accurate and beneficial, but also avoids fueling unhealthy thoughts and emotional patterns.

Join me in this training to critically examine the language that surrounds trauma therapy – from diagnoses to treatment. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and current research findings, we'll embark on an illuminating journey.

The Problem with Diagnosis

Decode the diagnoses of PTSD, C-PTSD, BPD, and more. We discuss and validate the challenges these diagnoses provide.

7 Dirty Words

We will identify 7 key "dirty-words" to avoid in our work, as they may prove counter-productive to the healing process.

Intersection with Political Rhetoric

Identify the political aspects of language - both through our own associations as well as through the lens of propoganda.

Small-Group, Discussion Focused

The small-group format allows us to focus on specific areas of interest and concern during the training; you will spend more time with your instructor and actively engaged with the material than other, larger trainings.

What is the difference between being EMDR-Trained and EMDR-Certified?

EMDR-Trained is the designation used to indicate successful completion of the 50 hour EMDR basic training program (such as the one offered here). 

EMDR-Certified is a designation recognizing the additional training, consultation, and experience of an EMDR clinician. In addition to completion of the EMDR Basic Training, EMDR-Certified clinicians will have completed additional training in EMDR related topics and have undergone supervision with an approved consultant. Aurora offers both programs allowing individuals to become EMDR-Trained and Certified.
