Message from your favorite neurodivergent, queer, spoonie trainer

Hi! I'm Dana: counselor, supervisor, educator, and advocate. Here's how I ended up doing this work, and why I think you deserve support from someone that actually gets it.

Not sure where to start? Here's every way I can support you.

How I got here

A lot of my story comes down to one pattern: I do something well, and people start asking how I did it.

After realizing how inadequately prepared mental health clinicians are, I pursued my PhD with the plan of becoming a full-time professor. The plan worked — sort of — I started adjunct teaching at several universities. But my passion for sharing insights became most apparent when working directly with licensed clinicians.

When other clinicians wanted to know how I was applying my work clinically, I started creating continuing education. When I became an NBCC CE provider, other clinicians started asking how I did that too. And because I also hold a business degree and have started three businesses of my own, private practice owners began asking me for that same kind of support.

Now, after nearly a decade in the field, I'm bringing all of that experience directly to you — however you need it.

"Together, we can make this field better for both clients and clinicians."

Thank you for joining me in this commitment. See you in the next training!

What I bring

My lived expertise informs everything I do. As a neurodivergent, queer, spoonie clinician myself, I know what it's like to sit through continuing education that asks you to act "normal" just to earn your hours. I built C&C Resourcing to be different.

  • I know what chronic illness does to a training schedule, so mine are built with rest and flexibility in mind.
  • I know what it's like to mask in professional spaces, so my content doesn't ask you to.
  • I know the specific exhaustion of non-affirming CE, so mine is built to actually respect your identity and needs.
