WHAT TO EXPECT
It’s not every day you meet a licensed therapist with a background in professional acting and dance.
Audiences can expect to be highly engaged and entertained, given expert insights and walk away with practical tips for growth.
Grounded in my lived experience and clinical therapy practice, I weave humor and levity into my talks for balance. Laughter is our heart's medicine, and I love incorporating it as much as possible.
