Community offerings, workshops, and trainings

I create spaces where story and counter-narratives coexist—where mental health, culture, and systemic survival can be named and explored.

These aren’t surface-level presentations. They’re spaces to grapple with discomfort, honor pain points, and make room for clarity. Together, we slow down to reflect on the stories we carry, the systems we move through, and the questions we haven’t had space to ask—so we can move forward with intention.

Whether I’m working with therapists, nonprofits, for-profits, first-gen professionals, or young men of color, the goal is the same: to co-create space that holds complexity, invites clarity, and centers collective care.

Topics I Center

• Intergenerational Healing: Trauma & Joy

• Shame, Silence & the Pressure to Stay Strong

• Storytelling & Counter-Narratives as Resistance

Recent Offerings/ The Heart of My Work

• Empowering Young Latino Men: Honoring Roots and Shaping Futures

A workshop centering the mental health, identity, and stories of Latino boys and men. We explore the impact of machismo, media, invisibility, and legacy, and uplift mentorship, voice, and representation as tools for healing and future-building.

• Caring Without Burning Out: A Framework for Ethical and Sustainable Support.

This session helps care workers, educators, and leaders reflect on how cultural, systemic, and personal pressures shape burnout. We explore burnout on a spectrum, how it often creeps in unnoticed, and build skills to name and take action earlier. Through values-based reflection and shared dialogue, we unpack how to offer care without losing ourselves in the process.

• Joy and Counter-Narratives as Trauma Work

This offering invites participants to see joy not as an escape, but as resistance and story as medicine. We explore how counter-narratives hold space for trauma, identity, and reimagining who we are beyond survival. Together, we practice rewriting the stories we’ve inherited to reclaim power, agency, and voice. Because healing isn’t just about what we’ve been through, it’s about intentionally shaping our future.

• Aligning values with the Organization's Mission

This facilitation supports teams in reconnecting with the values that brought them to the work in the first place. Using the toward vs. away framework, we explore where your organization is moving with intention and where it may be drifting from its purpose. If you’re ready to realign with clarity, care, and impact, this is the space for that work.

* Looking for something more specific? I also collaborate with organizations to create custom offerings that speak directly to your team’s needs, values, and goals. If something here resonates or sparks an idea, let’s start a conversation.

* While many of my offerings are paid engagements, I also believe in shared investment and community-centered collaboration. If you’re doing meaningful work and facing limited funding, I’m open to exploring aligned, mutually beneficial partnerships, particularly those that center equity, representation, or systemic change.
