Teaching & Speaking Engagements

I am available to offer teachings, workshops, and facilitated discussions exploring the intersection of contemplative practice and psychotherapeutic care.

Drawing from my background as a psychotherapist, trauma-informed yoga teacher, and lay-ordained practitioner in the Rinzai Zen lineage, my teaching explores how Buddhist psychological principles can support emotional healing, ethical care, and embodied presence in everyday life.

These offerings may be appropriate for:

  • meditation centers and sanghas

  • retreat programs

  • mental health organizations

  • professional trainings for clinicians

  • community education events

Talks and workshops are developed collaboratively to meet the needs and interests of each group.

  • Working skillfully with suffering and difficult emotions

  • Mindfulness and trauma-informed care

  • Neurodivergent affirming mindfulness

  • Compassion practices to support clinicians and reduce burnout

  • Trauma informed yoga teaching & practice
