Education, Mentorship & Professional Mastery
Preparing Practitioners to Serve — and to Sustain Themselves
In a world that deeply needs qualified, emotionally intelligent professionals, I’ve made it my mission to prepare those who choose this path — not just to serve others, but to sustain themselves while doing it.
Through my work with The Addictions Academy, Cuesta College, and Total Emotional Performance™ – Professional Expansion Practitioner EQ™, I’ve created educational and mentorship experiences that go far beyond textbooks and techniques.
They’re built to cultivate readiness, resilience, and the level of self-awareness that transforms good practitioners into truly exceptional ones.
My Passion for Professional Readiness
The people who come through these programs go on to impact lives at every level — in treatment centers, schools, private practices, and communities.
That’s why I believe our standards must go deeper than credentialing.
Readiness isn’t just about what you know; it’s about who you are when you show up to serve.
I teach from that place — blending evidence-based practices with real-world emotional intelligence. My goal is to ensure every student and mentee leaves with both the skill and the soul it takes to do this work well.
Protecting the Practitioner
Helping others is sacred work — but it can also be heavy.
I’ve seen too many professionals burn out, disconnect, or lose themselves to compassion fatigue.
That’s why every training and mentorship I offer includes a layer of Practitioner EQ™ — a framework built to protect your emotional wellbeing while strengthening your professional presence.
It’s about learning how to:
-
Lead from authenticity, not exhaustion.
-
Create connection without losing boundaries.
-
Stay compassionate without carrying the weight of every story.
Because protecting your own emotional health isn’t selfish — it’s how you sustain your impact.
Three Pathways, One Purpose
The Call to Teach
I am deeply called to teach practitioners not only how to support others, but how to protect their own hearts, homes, and humanity in the process.
If you’re ready to learn, mentor, or lead from a place of grounded emotional agility, you’re in the right place.
Explore the pathway that matches where you are now, and let’s prepare you for what comes next.
