Professional speaking,
keynotes, and workshops
As a national speaker and subject matter expert, my work centers on resilience through building supportive interpersonal connections.
I speak on chronic illness, caregiving, relationships, medical trauma, burnout, and Jewish mental health, helping audiences develop practical tools for navigating adversity, strengthening relationships, fostering resilience, promoting post-traumatic growth, and creating meaningful lives in the face of challenge and change.
I am a psychotherapist, author, researcher, and national lecturer bringing clinical expertise, research, and lived experience to conversations about mental health, chronic illness, medical trauma, and resilience. I present to diverse audiences, including patients, caregivers, mental health and healthcare professionals, professional associations, healthcare institutions, and employers.
With more than 50 lectures, webinars, and educational programs delivered nationally, my work explores the psychological and relational impact of chronic illness and medical trauma, caregiving, chronic stress, uncertainty, and resilience. My presentations integrate evidence-informed clinical frameworks, current research, and practical strategies that support emotional adaptation, strengthen relationships, and foster meaningful connection.
My presentations are grounded in clinical expertise and psychoeducation, while remaining accessible, practical, and deeply human. Whether speaking to healthcare professionals, organizational teams, or community audiences, I focus on helping people better understand emotional responses, strengthen connection, and apply meaningful strategies for coping and growth.
In addition to my work in chronic illness and rare disease, I provide education and training on Jewish mental health, including Jewish cultural competency, resilience-building, and mental health support in the context of antisemitism. Across all topics, my speaking emphasizes clarity, emotional well-being, and sustaining dignity and connection in the face of complex personal and collective challenges.
