Less PowerPoint. More Perspective.
Less PowerPoint. More Perspective.
We've all been there.
Sitting through a presentation filled with buzzwords, recycled advice, and slides that probably should have been an email.
I think we can do better.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, psychology educator, and speaker who believes the most meaningful learning happens when we're willing to challenge what we think we know.
My presentations blend psychological science, real-world experience, storytelling, practical strategies, and a healthy dose of humor.
I don't believe in delivering information just for the sake of delivering information. I want people asking questions, reconsidering assumptions, connecting ideas, and leaving with something they can actually use.
Because the best presentations don't just fill time. They change perspectives.
Featured Workshop: Doing Good Without Burning Out
Featured Workshop: Doing Good Without Burning Out
Because doing meaningful work shouldn't require sacrificing yourself.
Burnout is more than a bad week or a busy season. For helping professionals and mission-driven leaders, the emotional demands of meaningful work can gradually become unsustainable.
This interactive workshop explores the psychology of burnout, compassion fatigue, emotional boundaries, and the relationship between individual wellness and organizational culture.
Participants leave with practical tools to recognize warning signs, distinguish between caring and carrying, establish healthier boundaries, and create sustainable approaches to doing meaningful work.
Ideal audiences: Nonprofit professionals, healthcare teams, educators, counselors, organizational leaders, and helping professionals.
Available formats: Keynote-style presentation, interactive workshop, or multi-session professional development series. Format and length can be tailored to the audience.

Who's in the Room?
Who's in the Room?
The best conversations happen when the content actually reflects the people listening.
I work with organizations and groups that want to understand people, challenge assumptions, and approach familiar problems from a different perspective.
My presentations can be tailored for:
Nonprofit organizations and mission-driven teams
Healthcare professionals and hospital leadership
Educators and higher education professionals
Counselors and mental health professionals
Executive women's networks and leadership organizations
Professional associations and conference audiences
Whether it's a small group of leaders or a room full of conference attendees, my goal is the same: make the material relevant, engaging, and worth remembering.
I Don't Need Everyone to Agree With Me.
I Don't Need Everyone to Agree With Me.
I just want them to think.
I believe the best presentations make people curious, encourage thoughtful disagreement, and create space to examine ideas from more than one perspective.
I combine psychological research, storytelling, humor, and practical application to create experiences that are both intellectually engaging and useful beyond the presentation itself.
Because learning isn't always about being given the answer.
Sometimes it's about realizing you've been asking the wrong question.
A Little Experience Behind the Opinions.
A Little Experience Behind the Opinions.
My work draws on experience in clinical counseling, psychology education, organizational behavior, leadership, and community engagement.
Since 2018, I've taught psychology at The University of Texas at Tyler, helping students connect psychological science with real-world behavior and professional practice.
I've developed and facilitated burnout and wellness programming for nonprofit professionals, including Doing Good Without Burning Out.
My involvement in Leadership Tyler and community organizations also informs my understanding of the challenges faced by people who lead, serve, and support others.
I bring these perspectives together to create presentations that are research-informed, relatable, and grounded in the realities of work and life.
