Speaking and Presentations
The talk your audience won’t stop thinking about on the drive home.
I don’t do generic talks on self-care and boundary-setting. I make the invisible visible — naming the specific patterns that driven, ambitious professionals live inside every day but have never had language for. The perfectionism that’s really about managing a terror of rejection. The workaholism that’s a nervous system convinced stillness equals danger. The burnout that has nothing to do with workload and everything to do with decades of running on survival fuel.
I bring over 15,000 clinical hours working with driven populations, lived experience building and selling a multimillion-dollar therapy practice, and a delivery style that makes complex neuroscience land in the body — not just the brain. My work has been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, NBC, The Information, NPR, and Inc.
What audiences tell me afterward isn’t “that was interesting.” It’s “how do you know my life?”
Every talk is tailored.
None of them are forgettable.
Keynote Presentations
Transformative talks for conferences, corporate events, and professional organizations — from state mental health conferences to women’s leadership summits. I reframe how your audience understands achievement, burnout, and what’s actually driving both. Every keynote is built around your specific audience: their language, their pressures, their patterns.
Grand Rounds & Clinical Presentations
Presentations for physicians, medical residents, and healthcare teams on vicarious trauma, relational trauma in driven patient populations, and the neurobiological mechanisms behind provider burnout. Clinically rigorous. Evidence-based. Designed for audiences who expect real science, delivered with specificity and depth.
Workshops & Interactive Sessions
Half-day and full-day workshops on nervous system regulation, boundary-setting, and sustainable performance. Built for organizations that want their people to leave with tools they’ll actually use on Monday morning — not concepts they’ll forget by Friday.
Podcasts, Panels & Media
I’m a regular voice in conversations on relational trauma, achievement patterns, and the neuroscience of burnout. I bring clinical depth and the kind of concrete, recognition-based examples that make podcast hosts say “we need to have you back.” Available for expert panels on trauma, ambition, women’s leadership, and psychological wellbeing.
“How does she know my life?”— What audiences say afterward
