Speaking Engagements

Dynamic presentations on mental health, cultural competency, and trauma-informed care for conferences, organizations, and media.

About My Speaking

As a bilingual therapist, Assistant Clinical Professor at Texas Woman's University, and mental health advocate, I bring both clinical expertise and academic rigor to every presentation. My speaking style is engaging, accessible, and grounded in lived experience.

I have spoken at international conferences, universities, community organizations, and in media appearances, including TEDx and Univision. Whether I am addressing a room of mental health professionals, university students, or a general community audience, I tailor my message to connect with and empower my listeners.

All presentations are available in English, Spanish, or a bilingual format.
