From keynote stages to media interviews, I bring research, clinical insight, and engaging storytelling to conversations on relationships, resilience, leadership, mental health, and justice-impacted families. Check out a few examples on my recent talks page.

Honest conversations, lasting impact

Real talk.

In addition to media interviews, I offer talks and workshops that make complex relationship and mental health topics feel clear, accessible, and genuinely relevant. My speaking style is authentic, integrating humor and engaged storytelling to every session. I ground clinical insight and research in real, memorable moments.
