THE HONEST

TALK

Evidence-based talks on anxiety and OCD for clinicians, organizations, and wellness events.

My talks are grounded in advanced OCD and anxiety training and real clinical experience. They are specific, research-based, and focused on making complex psychological concepts accessible without watering them down.

What Is OCD and Why Most People Have It Wrong

For general audiences, wellness events, and organizations. A clear, accessible overview of what OCD actually is, how it differs from everyday anxiety, why it is so frequently misdiagnosed, and how ERP can help those with OCD.

Anxiety and OCD in Clinical Practice: An Introduction to ERP

For therapists and clinical teams. An overview of exposure and response prevention, why it is the gold standard treatment for OCD, and how to begin applying this treatment with your clients.

Living by Values: What ACT Actually Looks Like in Real Life

For wellness retreats, women's events, and general audiences. A talk on values clarification, what it means to make decisions from your values rather than your anxiety, and what shifts when anxiety stops making the decisions.

Accepting Discomfort: Why Avoiding Anxiety Makes It Worse

For general audiences, wellness events, and organizations. A talk on how avoiding, fighting, and trying to get rid of anxiety leads to increased anxiety symptoms over time, what sitting with discomfort actually looks like, and why learning to tolerate anxiety rather than eliminate the emotion is one of the most important shifts in anxiety treatment.
