I help people befriend their emotions—and transform inner criticism into compassion, calm, and confidence.

Many people are cut off from one of their greatest sources of wisdom: their emotions.

As a neurodivergent human, parent, and mental health therapist, I spent years feeling hijacked and yanked around by my own big emotions. I tried logic, willpower, and pushing feelings aside—until stress made those strategies collapse. Learning to turn toward my emotions with compassion changed everything. What once fueled reactivity, anxiety, depression, and a relentless inner critic became a pathway to steadiness, clarity, and a calm confidence I didn’t know was possible.

Today, I bring this work to the stage.

Grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), neuroscience, and lived experience, my talks help audiences reconnect with their emotions as allies—not obstacles—and learn practical, human skills they can use immediately in high-pressure moments at work and in life.

Speaking Topics & Outcomes

Participants leave with:

• A deeper understanding of the hidden cost of shutting down or turning away from emotions—and why this strategy fails under stress
• Confidence and practical tools to turn toward difficult emotions with curiosity and compassion rather than fear or avoidance
• The ability to shift from a harsh inner critic to a steady, compassionate inner voice, especially during moments of overwhelm or high stakes
• A felt sense of empowerment that comes from responding instead of reacting
• The capacity to draw strength from connection, carrying supportive relationships within—even when physically alone

These are not just ideas—they are embodied experiences that change how people relate to themselves and others.

A Therapeutic Lens—Designed for the Real World

As an Emotionally Focused Therapist, I translate clinical insight into accessible, engaging, and actionable talks. Audiences appreciate that this work is:

• Evidence-based, without being academic
• Emotionally resonant, without being overwhelming
• Practical, without being simplistic

Whether speaking to leaders, teams, students, or communities, I create a space where people feel seen, safe, and empowered to grow.
