Teaching and Training

Sharing Wisdom, Encouraging Growth

My Approach

For more than thirty years, I've had the privilege of teaching, mentoring, and speaking with clinicians, ministry leaders, organizations, churches, and community groups. Whether in a conference setting, a professional workshop, or a quiet retreat, my hope is always the same: to create space where people leave with greater understanding, renewed perspective, and practical tools for the journey ahead.

My presentations weave together clinical knowledge, neuroscience, spiritual formation, and decades of experience walking alongside people through trauma, grief, healing, and transformation.
