As an experienced and highly sought after public speaker, I am available to present in Dallas or the city of your choice on a variety of topics related to teens, mental health and parenting. Knowing that each audience is unique, I will customize each presentation to meet the special needs and goals of your group.

Since 2013 I have done hundreds of public speaking engagements to audiences of all ages and sizes. Please scroll down to see the extensive list of topics on which I can present and to view a handful of the presentations I’ve done this past year.
