Speaking

I speak to audiences who want an honest, practical conversation about mental health, leadership, and the work of helping people. I bring the same things to a keynote stage that I bring to a supervision room: real examples, cultural awareness, and room for people to think about their own lives and work.

Topics

• Boundaries, burnout, and rest for high-achieving Black women
• Mental health and wellness at work
• Clinical supervision, ethics, and professional development
• Cultural humility and multicultural practice in behavioral health
• Leadership for counselors and other helping professionals

Each talk can be shaped for your audience, whether that’s clinicians, students, educators, corporate teams, or community groups.

Formats

Keynotes, conference sessions, workshops and CE trainings, panels, podcasts, and TV and radio interviews. Available in person and virtually.
