Speaking & Keynotes

As an acclaimed speaker, I can help elevate your company, organization, or brand to maximize productivity, reduce burnout, improve mental wellness, and support workplace development.

Custom events, workshops, conferences, and more.

I offer speaking engagements at conferences, workshops, retreats, keynotes, and more and am always inspired to create bespoke workshops, panels, and discussions according the needs of the organization or company.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I base my engagements on evidence-based practice and create content that is approachable, practical, and applicable to real life.

    Equal parts intelligent, savvy, and personable, she commands any space she's in with a steady and supportive hand. We've tapped into her expertise for all kinds of speaking opportunities (large-scale panels, intimate dinners, outdoor workshops, and more), and she's met and exceeded every challenge. I cannot recommend her enough!”

  • ADHD is growing in intrigue, particularly in the depths of social media, however, so much misinformation makes it difficult to decipher what is true vs. not.

  • This engaging keynote/workshop explores the multidimensional relationship between financial health and mental well-being. Money is more than just numbers—it’s deeply connected to our sense of security, identity, and emotional health.

    Through practical strategies and psychological insights, participants will learn how to foster a healthier relationship with money, set mindful financial goals, and build resilience in the face of economic challenges. It will also encourage individuals to consider how their beliefs around money and wealth impact their behaviors in ways that they may not see. Whether you’re managing personal finances, supporting others in financial decision-making, or seeking balance in your own life, this session provides empowering tools to thrive both financially and emotionally.

  • The more we have to do and the more we want to do, the more it can feel overwhelming in living aligned with what is important to you.

    This talk is meant to help you overcome stuckness, reduce overwhelm, and figure out how you want to live your life, personally and professionally.

    For Corporate talks, this can also be focused on Values-Based business and workplaces.
