Speaking Engagements & Workshops

Speaking engagements and workshops have reopened for booking on dates in March 2026 and beyond.

Practical, engaging mental health education for professionals, organizations, and community spaces.

My speaking engagements and workshops are designed to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application. Drawing from extensive experience in crisis intervention, clinical supervision, and systems-based mental health work, I offer trainings that are both informative and immediately usable.

I prioritize clarity, psychological safety, and sustainable practice — whether the audience is clinical, organizational, or community-based.

My Speaking & Teaching Approach

Formats & Audiences

Speaking engagements and workshops are well-suited for:

  • Mental health professionals and clinical teams

  • Social workers, counselors, and supervisors

  • Nonprofit and community organizations

  • Schools, churches, and faith-based groups

  • Leadership teams supporting high-emotional-demand roles

If you support people in crisis, care, or service-oriented work, these trainings are designed with you in mind.

Engagements may be offered in the following formats:

  • Keynote presentations

  • Half-day or full-day workshops

  • Professional development trainings

  • Interactive discussion-based sessions

  • Processing and debriefing groups

  • Faith-based or community-centered events

Sessions can be delivered virtually or in person, depending on location and needs.
