Workshops, Speaking & Professional Training

For LGBTQ+ Families, Allies and Helping Professionals

Based in Richmond, Virginia, I offer professional training, community workshops, and speaking engagements that bring LGBTQ+ individuals, families, allies, and helping professionals together to learn, connect, and grow.

Learning That Goes Beyond Listening

I create a safe and positive learning experience so you can engage in meaningful ways.

Whether it’s three or 150 people, I help people dive deep and figure out how to apply interesting new concepts in their daily work. I use games, art materials, live interactive tech tools, and powerful experiential activities designed to entertain your brain, get you moving and connecting with others.

Through dynamic discussions, you will hear and learn from each other.

You’ll be thinking critically about power, privilege and social identities so you change yourself. For helpers, you’ll lean into the excellence of effective and accountable care that counters historical marginalization. You’ll leave with practical, hands-on tools to implement right away.
