As a licensed mental health counselor, seasoned business owner, and nonprofit director, I employ authenticity and connection to foster healthier organizational environments through my keynote speech, Why Kindness is Scary.

Staying with Safe Discomfort for Growth
Replacing Binary Thinking with Critical Thinking
Pursuing Courage over Confidence

Stay tuned for the release of my book,
