BESPOKE CONSULTING
I am able to provide consultation and presentations on a range of topics including diversity and inclusion, pediatric behavioral health, child and adolescent development, parenting, self care, time management, careers in psychology, and other subjects. I’ve been told that I have a warm, engaging, and energetic presence that makes people comfortable and gets them talking. I have a knack for making complex psychological principles feel understandable and applicable to real life. Be in touch to discuss customizing a consultation program to reach your goals, discuss rates, and begin scheduling.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION THROUGH
CHILDREN'S LITERATURE DISCUSSIONS
In my therapy with young children, most of our work around difficult topics begins with a book. Whether the topic is grief, trauma, or confusing symptoms and feelings, children’s books offer a gentle way to begin the conversation and help kids find their voice.
Somewhere along the way while growing up, so many of us forget what helpful tools children’s books can be. As the mother of a young child and a children’s book fan, I’ve followed the proliferation of books that take on difficult topics and represent the full beauty and diversity of different backgrounds and cultures with great excitement.
As I discovered new books for my patients, family, and friends, I realized that children’s books may be an innovative way to begin the hard conversations about diversity, health equity, inclusion, and discrimination that are so necessary in a variety of pediatric and child-related settings as well as other organizations. I decided to combine my expertise in clinical psychology and child development with my research and personal interests in health equity to offer a needed service in a fresh way.
My unique program offers a gentle entry into the language and discussion of health equity and identity that can get your employees or colleagues thinking, reflecting, and talking. Take the initial steps in being a more inclusive company, clinic, or organization by joining me in a fun discussion on the ways in which modern children’s books can help us create a more inclusive and equitable world.
This program includes a free 15 min preparatory discussion with a representative from your organization to discuss logistics and needs, followed by an hour-long guided discussion with corresponding slide deck and reflection questions. Q&A time can also be offered.

SELF-CARE WITH INTENTION AND PURPOSE
Dealing with burnout, exhaustion, and overwhelm in yourself, colleagues, employees, or organization members? In this workshop, we will move beyond the standard “take a deep breath and a bubble bath” approach to self-care to support you and your organization in using evidence-based psychological principles to take care of your Mind, Body, and Spirit. Managing both your work and free time with intention and purpose is a central focus of this program. Fun and approachable strategies and tips will be shared throughout this interactive presentation. Ample resources for further exploration are also provided.
Self-care does not happen in a vacuum. I discuss issues of intersectionality and the ways in which self-care can be difficult for BIPOC individuals, women, parents, and other groups as is applicable to your organization. We will cover time management, goal and intention setting, anxiety/stress management fact vs. fiction, the importance of joy and rest, and getting started with relaxation strategies.
This program includes a 15 min preparatory discussion with a representative from your organization to discuss logistics and needs, followed by an hour-long presentation with corresponding slide deck and activities and a 30 minute Ask the Expert Q&A.
