Workshops & speaking · In person or virtual
Trauma and mental health people and teams can use.
Workshops and talks that turn trauma science into something people and teams can actually use — grounded, practical, and shaped to your audience.
I design each workshop and talk around what your people are carrying including stress, burnout, trauma exposure, and the strain of high-stakes work. They’ll leave with concrete practices, language, and next steps. Every session is trauma-informed and built to be safe for the room.
Ways to work together
Three formats.
Workshops
Interactive sessions for teams, groups, and community spaces — trauma, stress, burnout, and mental-health skills people can put to use.
Speaking
Keynotes and talks on trauma, identity, and mental health for conferences, events, and organizations.

Topics
What I speak on.
Each talk turns research into strategies people and organizations can actually use.
- Trauma, identity, and the work of the self
- The survival patterns underneath anxiety and burnout
- Mental-health-informed leadership & team culture
- Workforce resilience & preventing burnout
- Trauma across systems and communities
- Sound, attention, and embodied practice (experiential)
For organizations
Trauma-informed work for high-stakes teams.
For mission-driven organizations whose people carry chronic stress and trauma exposure, I offer workshops, training, and talks scoped to your context — from a single session to an ongoing series. Healthcare, education, nonprofit and humanitarian work, and workforce programs all welcome.
