Professional Consultation

Throughout my academic and clinical training, I have published numerous studies regarding mental health, healing, and oppression of marginalized populations (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, socioeconomic and religious minorities, people with disabilities, etc). I have also conducted various trainings and speaking events on these topics. For a complete list of trainings and speaking engagements, see below and contact me to discuss if professional consultation, trainings, and/or speaking engagements may be a good fit for your organization.
