Therapist, Parent Coach, and Speaker
Speaking, Workshops, and Classes
Throughout my career, I have offered workshops, classes, and talks on a wide range of topics related to child development, mental health, and parenting. My presentations are practical, engaging, and grounded in real-life experience, and can be tailored for students, parents, or professional audiences. The workshops and classes tend to focus more on hands-on experiences and often involve arts-based activities. I frequently collaborate with schools, community organizations, and professional groups—including teachers, therapists, and youth programs. I can also design sessions to meet the needs of existing groups, such as clubs, athletic teams, or interest groups, or after-school programs.
Talks are generally 1-1.5 hrs, Workshops 1.5-4 hrs, and Classes are 45 mins-1.5 hours
