Speaking Engagements

Knowledge is power.

“As a College Instructor,  Community Educator, and Treatment Center Counselor, I have given hundreds of presentations on a multitude of wellness related topics. I am just as comfortable in a parent group member’s living room as I am in a large lecture hall.

The point is, I am passionate about sharing knowledge that opens the door to healing. I work on a sliding scale, dependent on the request. Please contact me about your event and interests.”
