What I Bring to Your Organization
I focus on real-world challenges professionals face and provide evidence-based strategies to navigate them. My areas of expertise include:
Areas of Expertise
Trauma
Trauma affects more than just the mind—it’s something we feel deeply in both our emotions and our bodies. My trainings help professionals understand how trauma works and how to support people through the healing process.
Health Psychology
Mental and physical health are deeply connected. I’ll show you how to bridge the two, creating a more holistic approach to care that addresses the whole person.
Stress and Resilience
Stress is unavoidable, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. I teach practical strategies to build resilience and thrive, even in high-pressure situations.

Purpose in Life
A strong sense of purpose isn’t just inspiring—it’s transformative. Together, we’ll explore how meaning drives well-being and motivates healthier behaviors.
Spiritual Coping
Faith and spirituality can be powerful tools for healing. My trainings offer insights into how these practices help people find peace and strength during difficult times.
Values-Based Interventions
When people align their actions with what truly matters to them, they experience greater clarity and fulfillment. I’ll help your team apply this principle in ways that foster growth and connection.
Healthcare Provider Wellness
Caring for others can take a toll. My sessions focus on preventing burnout and compassion fatigue, so healthcare providers can care for themselves while continuing to care for others.

Every training is customized to address your team’s unique challenges, blending research-backed insights with practical applications.
