Education should be transformational. After working, directing, and designing youth programs for a decade, 8 years ago, I shifted my focus to supporting staff and organizations in implementing transformational social and emotional learning practices in youth programs and schools.
I offer a range of in-person and virtual workshops on implementing evidence-based and culturally responsive social and emotional learning, curriculum development, and adult learning and staff development. I also design custom facilitation experiences for youth organizations and companies.
Each workshop and retreat is highly experiential, interactive, and custom-tailored to your specific organizational needs, capacity, and the youth or adults you serve. Participants will leave each workshop with an embodied and science-based understanding of the concepts and tools, and multiple specific strategies they can implement immediately to improve practices.

Let’s transform our education system to support the WHOLE child, including supporting our staff, administrators, families & communities.

Hi, I'm Porter...
I bring 15 years of diverse and extensive experience at the intersection of education and psychology, including expertise as a teacher in traditional and non-traditional settings, an expert in designing transformative experiences, a professional development facilitator for educators, and a skilled therapist and coach. ​I believe education and psychology are inextricably linked, and work tirelessly (with lots of naps) to provide thought leadership & support to systems and individuals across the lifespan.​ I offer powerful learning and a transformational relationship with 1:1 counseling sessions and design and run expert-led workshops and retreats for adults, educators, and youth programs.
It's a bit hard to put into words - but Porter is the best counselor I've worked with. You can tell that he is extremely intelligent and will be honest with you, but most importantly he is a genuinely kind person and it's easy to feel safe around him. I've felt safe and encouraged to voice any differences in opinion or doubts I have, and I think that is surprisingly rare to find in a counselor. You can tell that Porter has honed his craft, and spent a great amount of time and effort practicing to be the counselor that he is today. I hold his opinion in high regard, and I feel lucky to be his client.
