With certifications in Anger Management Specialist, Peer Recovery Specialist, and Registered Yoga Teacher passionate about helping individuals, teams, and organizations build emotional resilience and navigate stress with confidence.

My work is rooted in both professional expertise and lived experience. With a B.A. from James Madison University and years of experience serving as Director of Programs & Services at a nonprofit, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people facing mental health challenges, trauma, and substance-use recovery. But my commitment to this work didn’t start in a classroom—
it started with my own healing.

Having overcome childhood trauma and the unexpected loss of a parent, I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by emotions, stress, and life’s complexities. That personal journey pushed me to develop the tools, practices, and mindset that now empower the individuals and professionals I serve. Today, I combine evidence-based strategies with mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed approaches to help people transform how they respond to anger, pressure, and adversity.

What I Bring to Speaking Engagements

When I speak, my goal is to make emotional wellness accessible—not clinical, not intimidating, but practical, relatable, and immediately usable. My workshops and presentations are designed to equip audiences with real-world tools for:

• Managing anger and emotional intensity
• Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries
• Preventing burnout and compassion fatigue
• Building resilience in high-stress roles
• Strengthening communication and emotional awareness

I speak to corporate teams, educators, frontline professionals, case managers, nonprofits, community organizations, and individuals who want to strengthen their emotional well-being and leadership capacity.

My style is warm, engaging, and authentic. I share stories from the field, insights from my personal journey, and practical tools that participants can apply the moment they leave the room. Whether the audience is navigating workplace stress, supporting clients through trauma, or seeking personal growth, I meet them where they are—with compassion, clarity, and encouragement.

Why Clients Partner With Me

Organizations bring me in because I help people not only understand their emotions—but transform their relationship with them. My sessions create meaningful shifts in how people show up in their work and their lives. Participants walk away feeling supported, empowered, grounded, and equipped with strategies that truly stick.

If you’re looking for a speaker who connects deeply, educates clearly, and inspires lasting change, I would love to bring this work to your audience.
Let’s partner to build resilience, emotional mastery, and healthier communities—together.
