Book Dr. B To Speak and Teach
Dr. B promotes the Three Es – Enhancing Competence, Expanding Self-Care, and Engaging in Community Care – to support career sustainability for healing professionals. Working in healing professions requires perseverance, patience, a unique set of skills, and a deep well of hope. Sustainability is constantly being challenged by the nature of the work itself, the demands of managed care systems, the residual toll of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the weight of systemic injustices.
In her trainings and workshops, Dr. B strives to improve sustainability through enhancing clinician confidence and wellness. She particularly focuses on working with clinical presentations historically deemed “difficult to treat.” Her clinical orientation is influenced by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). As such, she operates from a framework of validation and change. She believes compassionately making sense of one’s experience is essential for pursuing long-lasting change. Dr. B extends such compassion to clinicians themselves. She recognizes that self-and community-care are imperative as we are not meant to do this work alone.
