Public Speaking
I speak at conferences, churches, workshops, and leadership gatherings on topics that matter, such as mental health, spiritual trauma, leadership, ethics, healing, and more. My approach blends clinical insight, lived experience, and a touch of humor to spark meaningful reflection and leave people thinking differently.
Organizations that bring me in don't just check a training box, they start real conversations. Church leaders reach out months later to say their congregation finally feels safe talking about mental health. Conference attendees tell me they changed how they show up for clients the following Monday. That's what I'm after: not just a good talk, but a lasting shift.
Sample Topics Include:
Religious and spiritual trauma
Mental health in faith communities
Resilience and leadership
Ethical supervision and counselor growth
Helping professionals avoid burnout and cultivate purpose
Every talk is tailored to your audience. Whether you’re hosting a workshop, keynote, or panel, I’ll bring clarity, authenticity, and real-world tools people can use.
