What I Can Offer Your Story

Come to me for:

• Expert commentary you can quote, grounded in 10 years of clinical and crisis intervention experience
• An in-person, phone, video, or written interview
• On-camera segments at my Plantation office or in your studio
• Background briefings to help you understand a mental health topic before you report on it
• Headshots you can use free of charge (with attribution)
• Story ideas tied to what South Floridians are dealing with right now, from hurricane season stress to holiday burnout
• A reliable mental health source you can contact for future stories

To protect client confidentiality, I don’t discuss current or former clients or share their stories. I’m happy to speak about common patterns, research, and practical guidance your audience can use.

Featured Media and Speaking

I’ve been featured by WSVN 7News as a mental health expert, including a discussion of mental health support for first responders. I also joined Hermann Diehl on The Better Wealth & Health Podcast to talk about the gap between knowing what needs to change and actually making that change.

Beyond media interviews, I provide speaking engagements and training on crisis intervention, trauma-informed approaches, stress, burnout, de-escalation, resilience, and behavioral health awareness. I’ve worked with law enforcement agencies, healthcare professionals, universities, first responder organizations, community groups, and other professional audiences. Read more about my background.
