I’m Rae! I tutor public speaking, writing, entrepreneurship, and psychology/social work with a focus on clarity, confidence, and purpose. I graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in Psychology, and hold a Master’s of Education in Counseling Psychology. I’m a Certified Sex Therapist, published author, and award-winning educator—my book Gender Magic received the 2025 Book of the Year Award from the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT).

I’ve spent the last 10+ years teaching, coaching, and mentoring learners in both academic and professional settings. I’ve taught graduate students in counseling and social work programs at Adler University, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and Modern Sex Therapy Institute, helping them master both theory and clinical application. I’ve also worked one-on-one with adult learners and entrepreneurs on business development, writing, leadership, and high-stakes communication through my private practice.

As a keynote speaker, I’ve presented at conferences and organizations like Rutgers University, University of Chicago, Soho House, Chapman & Cutler, and Rachel Rodgers’ ROI: The Millionaires Summit. I also coach individuals in developing and delivering powerful speeches and presentations. Most of my students are ages 18+, though I love working with motivated high schoolers ready to dive deep.

My approach is affirming, no-nonsense, and collaborative. I break down big ideas, ask great questions, and turn overwhelm into momentum. If you’re ready to sharpen your voice, lead boldly, or build a future rooted in your values—I’d be honored to help.

Psychology

Psychology

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with over 13 years of experience in the field, including owning a group private practice and training and supervising new clinicians. I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and have taught graduate-level courses at Adler University, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and Modern Sex Therapy Institute. My tutoring helps students truly understand psychological concepts—from trauma and identity to development and therapeutic theory—by connecting ideas to real-world practice. My style is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you think critically, apply your knowledge, and feel confident in the subject.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

As a sought-after professional speaker with over two decades of experience in theatre and stage performance, I’ve presented at institutions and events like Rutgers University, University of Chicago, Chapman & Cutler, Soho House, and Rachel Rodgers’ ROI: The Millionaires Summit. I have been a guest on over 20 podcasts and have experience with live news media performance. With experience ranging from keynote stages to intimate workshops, I help adults and students develop authentic presence, manage nerves, and connect meaningfully with their audience. My approach blends practical tools—like structure, content review, pacing, and vocal dynamics—with mindset coaching to build confidence and stage presence from the inside out. Whether you’re prepping for a speech, class presentation, or big pitch, I’ll help you own your voice, find your message, and speak with clarity, power, and ease.

As a Certified S** Therapist and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with years of experience in trauma-informed care, relational therapy, and social justice-based practice, I bring both academic depth and real-world insight to tutoring in social work and social work. I’ve trained future therapists, educators, and social workers in everything from attachment theory to systems of oppression at institutions such as Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Adler University, and Northwestern University—and I make complex concepts accessible, grounded, and engaging. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity, helping you connect theory to practice in meaningful ways. Whether you’re prepping for a test, writing a paper, or deepening your understanding of the field, I’ll meet you where you are and help you think critically and compassionately.
Writing

Writing

As the author of Gender Magic—winner of the 2025 AASECT Book of the Year Award—I bring deep experience in both creative and professional writing. I’ve received advanced training from editors at Penguin Random House and Hachette, and I help writers shape powerful, authentic narratives that truly resonate. Whether you’re working on personal essays, thought leadership, or brand storytelling, I offer personalized guidance to help your writing shine. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and rooted in helping you express your voice with confidence and impact.
