If you or your counseling group are interested in seminars, workshops, or retreats, Lani presents on a variety of therapeutic topics and creative modalities, arranging specially curated events to fit your needs.

If your agency desires to learn more regarding Complex Trauma and Dissociative Disorders, Lani offers a seminar designed for those in the helping professions who journey with dissociative survivors of childhood trauma. Her creative therapeutic work with clients, combined with her in-depth knowledge of dissociation, gives Lani a unique perspective.

Sharing her story work with survivors and personal journey of emotional healing through the powerful medium of expressive collage, interactive art journaling, and “Restorative Creativity”, Lani takes you into the depths of the dissociative experience.  She shares unique tools and processes that help unlock and revealing the inner language of the dissociative survivor, fostering a deeper therapeutic alliance between counselor and client.  These creative tools assist survivors in the safe telling of their story and support the dissociative healing process.

“Lani has an amazing blend of artistic talent, profound insight and intuition, and a delightful way to connect with people. She is caring, intelligent, and wonderfully committed to healing. I have professionally consulted with her on a number of occasions and referred clients for Therapeutic Mentoring. I am grateful for her insight.”

“As one of the therapists to have invited and utilized Lani’s Therapeutic Mentoring and in session support role, I can attest to the amazing therapeutic impact she has had for my client.  It is not an exaggeration to say that in single sessions with Lani my client made gains equal to months of traditional therapy.  As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand the difficult task of creating a safe and trusting alliance with a survivor. Lani does a masterful job attending to these delicate interpersonal processes while still being able to impart vital transformative and cathartic experiences through her shared art and words. I cannot recommend her more highly.”
