Speaking That Sparks Growth & Connection

Speaking That Sparks Growth & Connection

Great therapy isn’t just about skills and techniques—it’s about embracing uncertainty, building authentic connections, and staying open to growth. The same is true for leadership and mentorship. Whether I’m speaking to therapists, educators, leaders, or organizations, I bring an engaging, down-to-earth style that blends research, real-world experience, and humor to make complex ideas accessible and immediately useful.

At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to mentorship—helping clinicians, leaders, and teams navigate self-doubt, develop their unique voice, and embrace the discomfort that comes with growth. I believe that great leadership, like great therapy, isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about creating space for reflection, trust, and meaningful change.

My talks focus on the intersection of relationships, mental health, leadership, and professional development, helping audiences rethink connection, uncertainty, and what truly facilitates growth—both in therapy and in the workplace. I offer keynotes, workshops, and panel discussions that challenge conventional wisdom and spark meaningful conversations.
