I participate in ongoing professional consultation both individually and in group.  I participate in professional online lists where clinicians from all over the world share cutting edge research, information and support, as well as exploration of clinical issues.  I attend ongoing trainings and workshops to maintain and enhance my clinical skills while keeping informed and knowledgeable about the latest research and information about the human mind, brain and nervous system.  As well, I keep abreast of new areas of clincial exploration and application of basic theory and protocol and the latest research through reading and the above activities.  It is always my intention to continue to grow and learn to provide you with the most effective tools and information available to support your growth and healing.
