It is one of my passions to engage in dialogue and share what I can with others. I have presented at conferences around the world and have given workshops and presentations for hospitals, clinics, non-profit agencies, and universities throughout the country. I am open to speaking on topics connected with my work, such as hope, caregiving, end-of-life issues, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, among others.
