Public Speaking

Hi, I’m Nona,

I’m a licensed psychotherapist, professor, podcaster, and intuitive guide—but beyond the titles, I’m also a wife and mom to three amazing kids. Family, authenticity, and creativity shape everything I do.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of leading workshops and seminars both virtually and in person with diverse groups of people—employees, staff, community members, students, and business owners. I’ve delivered keynotes in educational settings and guided organizations through conversations that strengthen workplace culture, deepen connection, and bring more humanity into the room.

At the heart of my work is a simple truth: when people and organizations connect back to their most authentic selves, they create space for fulfillment, resilience, and growth—personally and professionally. My style is engaging, heartfelt, and always rooted in creating genuine connection.

Please take a moment to explore my offerings below, or reach out to me directly by email at: nona@andbothcanbetrue.com. I’d love to connect and learn more about your organization and the specific needs you’re hoping to address.

    Reclaiming the Soul of Therapy – Keynote for Universities

    A Sacred Invitation to the Next Generation of Therapists

    In a world that often prioritizes performance over presence, productivity over connection, and expertise over embodiment, Reclaiming the Soul of Therapy offers a powerful return to the heart of our work.

    This keynote, created especially for universities, counseling programs, and therapists-in-training, is a love letter to the ones who will carry the legacy of this sacred profession. Blending over 20 years of clinical experience, intuitive insight, and embodied truth, I guide students and emerging healers to remember what truly matters: their presence, their humanity, and their relationship to self.

    With deep reverence and authenticity, I explore themes such as:

    Self-of-the-therapist work as the foundation for ethical, attuned care

    The power of intuition and inner wisdom in clinical practice

    Holding space without losing yourself in the process

    Healing the healer: shadow work, shame, and self-compassion

    Releasing the pressure to "perform" and instead showing up with integrity and soul

    This keynote is not just a lecture—it’s a felt experience.
    It’s a mirror, a balm, and a permission slip.

    Whether you're an educator, program director, or student leader, I would be honored to bring this keynote to your university or training space.
    Let's reimagine what it means to become a therapist—together.
