Speaking + Training

Speaking and training on racial trauma

I speak with clinical teams, graduate programs, conferences, and community audiences, bringing research, clinical experience, and personal story into the same conversation.

I also lead training workshops for clinical teams and graduate programs on racial trauma, oppression, and integrative practice.
