“You live and lead in a time of great change and evolution. Whether you are a leader dealing with team challenges or struggling in your personal life, I can help you clarify your direction, recognize your full potential, and guide you to connect with what makes your life, work, and relationships more meaningful.”

What I do and Why

I am a visionary, dreaming of a world where the emphasis on learning, change, and relationship replace the often moralistic tone of right and wrong, or good and bad. I am for a world where diversity is cherished, both as an external politic as well as an inner experience. The inner practice which cultivates the diversity within each of us is what supports outer change.

What I Offer

  • Leadership / Coaching Development

    Connecting you to your deepest leadership powers that give you confidence and team trust.

  • Facilitation

    Facilitating real change by addressing team tension to ease communication and find new direction.

  • Therapy

    Together we find meaning and deeper perspective at the root of life’s challenges.

  • Workshops / Trainings

    Custom created programs and workshops to address your organizational challenges and needs.

  • Teens Rise Up - School Programs

    TRU is an innovative program designed to empower and educate young people to step into their leadership, engage in honest dialogue and co-create a more welcoming school community.

  • Public Speaking

    I am passionate about sharing my unique thinking and personal wisdom to inspire your group, organization, or school.

What I Bring

Idealistic and passionate about improving our fractured world, I specialize both in working with leaders who engage with large constituencies, as well as individuals and families who seek to make a difference in their lives and the world at large. With over 30 years experience in the fields of human development, psychology, and facilitation, I am a thought leader and change agent equally adept working with groups and people in power as I am working with a young child.

Let’s Work Together

It all starts with an introductory conversation where I learn about the challenges you or your organization are facing. From there, I will share some first impression feedback and offer some suggestions on your situation on how we might move forward and work together.
