SIGNATURE TALKS

I speak on emotional resilience, ADHD, and anxiety, and my goal is always the same:
Give people something they can actually use when they walk out the door.
Whether it's a keynote or workshop, I tailor it to your audience.

The Be An EMPATH Method for Emotional Resilience

Emotions are confusing for everyone—kids, teens, and the adults trying to help them. This workshop teaches the Be An EMPATH method to help you show up authentically in emotionally charged moments, whether you're supporting a child or simply wanting to feel more grounded yourself. You'll learn practical strategies that work in real situations and discover how to communicate more effectively during high-stress moments.‍

Front-End Strategies to Avoid Power Struggles and Meltdowns

What if you could prevent most meltdowns before they even start? Discover how to work with your child's "racecar brain and emotions" rather than against it. Learn practical, science-backed strategies that help you get ahead of the chaos instead of constantly reacting to it. Most children are not being intentionally defiant; rather, they struggle with emotional regulation and shifting focus. Understanding this can help parents and caregivers foster connection and build skills rather than engage in power struggles.

Finding Calm in the Chaos: Building Resilience as a Parent

Parenting today can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to navigate your child's big emotions while managing your own stress and uncertainty. This workshop embraces imperfection and focuses on building sustainable practices that work for real families in real life. You'll learn practical strategies for staying calm during challenging moments and discover how your own self-care directly affects your family's wellbeing.

From Lectures to Connection: Conversations that Keep Teens Talking

You want your teen to come to you when it matters, but hard conversations can end in eye rolls, one-word answers, or a closed bedroom door. As kids move into the tween and teen years, our role shifts from manager to consultant, and how we communicate needs to shift with it. You'll walk away with a practical framework for everything from everyday moments to the more sensitive topics. Learn how to stay steady, lean into curiosity, help your teen feel heard even when you don’t agree, and repair when a conversation goes sideways, so the door stays open for the next one.

Resilience isn't something we're born with. It's something we build together.

I'm a psychologist and co-author of From Surviving to Vibing, and for 20+ years I've helped families with ADHD, anxiety, and everyday chaos.

I'm a parent too, so I know what it's like to have your child melting down on the way out the door. I've been that exhausted parent who needed to take my own advice and slow down. Parenting is a long haul, and nobody gets it right every day.

My talks give parents, and the schools and workplaces that support them, everyday tools that help smooth the way. People often tell me I'm relatable and down to earth, and that they leave my workshops feeling calmer and more confident.

Resilience isn't something we're born with. It's something we build together.
