As a speaker, I’m passionate about creating conversations that feel engaging, hopeful, and deeply human. My goal is to help audiences feel inspired, learn something new, and walk away seeing themselves—and others—in a new light. I strive to offer practical, evidence-based tools that can be applied immediately, while creating space for meaningful connection and reflection.

Speaking is one of the ways I love giving back and connecting with others—My journey into public speaking grew from a desire to give back and share what I’ve learned in the field, especially with other parents and caregivers navigating challenges similar to my own. I speak on topics including EMDR, play therapy and playful healing, burnout and self-care, parenting neurodivergent children, self-care for therapists, and finding faith through life’s challenges.

My speaking style is fun, interactive, innovative, and evidence-based, and I intentionally tailor each presentation to the audience—whether I’m speaking in corporate, academic, therapeutic, or community settings. I prepare by reviewing the latest research and learning about the unique needs of each organization, and I often arrive with a suitcase full of play therapy tools to keep sessions engaging and accessible.

Some of my most meaningful moments come after a talk, like when a mother once shared how excited she was to take what she learned home to support her newly diagnosed teenager. Above all, I hope every audience leaves knowing this truth: the resources needed to grow, heal, and move forward already exist within them—we just have to learn how to reconnect to them.
