"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." less...
