Why Public Speaking?

I became a therapist because my life’s goal is to help people live better lives. One way of doing so is by educating. This is why I love public speaking. By mixing engaging storytelling, humor, and the latest research findings, I offer a balance of personable and professional talks on various mental health related talks.
