If you, your school, or your organization is looking for ways to deepen your understanding of the young people you serve – or if you simply want to infuse new life into your current practices – then I would love to be in conversation about

what that might look like.

​I have been supporting organizations and individuals in finding these fresh perspectives for over 30 years – teaching, lecturing, and leading workshops across a range of subject areas related to youth.​

Enhancing Youth-Centered Practice

Just as in my approach to therapy, I draw upon my multidisciplinary background to create dynamic, engaging, and relevant learning environments for participants ranging from youth themselves to anyone who works with oris responsible for young people.

Co-creation and collaboration is welcome! Let’s work together to create the focused, interactive learning environments that foster creativity and new perspectives while generating clear, actionable tools that can be immediately implemented.

And if you’re hungry for a deep dive into a critical analysis of adolescence that goes beyond common assumptions and narratives, I also lecture about and am able to teach semester-long courses focusing on the construction of adolescence in the United States.

"Jovanina is an amazing practitioner who cares deeply about people and is a passionate DEI [Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion] advocate, facilitator, and coach. I had the opportunity to witness her while building a successful DEI curriculum and a safe educational environment from scratch at an institution where it did not exist. Bringing the voices of students, parents, staff, and administrators to the table created amazing learning experiences and was a force for understanding and change."
