About My Practice 

Helping Make Sense of What’s Changing

My work has evolved over more than 15 years of working closely with people, leaders, teams, and organizations during moments when something important needed to come together.

My background spans organizational development, talent and leadership development, coaching, facilitation, training, and earlier work supporting people through career and personal transitions. The roles have been different, but I kept getting pulled toward the same kind of work: helping people, individually and together, make sense of what was happening, figure out what mattered, and move something forward.

That’s the work I do today.

Sometimes it’s an individual trying to figure out what’s next professionally.

Sometimes it’s a leader carrying a situation that needs more thought before they act.

Sometimes it’s a team that can’t quite get on the same page. And sometimes it’s an organization or board navigating a change that the default way of doing things doesn’t quite address.

The common thread is that something is not clear yet.

What I Bring

I bring both an understanding of people and how organizations work.

I hold a Master’s in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, along with certifications in executive coaching, organizational development, leadership development and succession strategy, and DISC communication consulting.

My credentials are only part of what I bring.

I’ve spent years working close to how organizations actually function, not just policies and structures around people. I’ve worked with CEOs and senior leaders, built leadership and professional development programs, supported organizational transitions, facilitated difficult conversations, and stepped into situations where something needed to happen but the path wasn’t clear.

I’ve also been trusted with a number of firsts: at one organization, I held its inaugural Talent & Organizational Development role during its transition from division to independent agency, led its first HR Director search, and helped created its first Professional Development University. I also developed a company’s first training catalog.

Those experiences taught me to pay attention to what’s really going on, not just what shows up first.

How I Work

There’s not one set way to do this work.

Depending on the situation, I may work through a thinking and follow-through partnership, coaching conversation, organizational development work, facilitated dialogue or workshop, or a combination of approaches.

The approach follows the situation.

I don’t come in with a quick fix or ready-made answer. I help make visible what’s not clear yet, then we figure out what to do with what we uncover.

That might mean clarifying a next professional move, helping a leader think through a difficult situation, working with a team to understand what’s happening between them, or helping an organization make sense of a transition and what it requires.

Why This Work

I’m drawn to the messy middle, the point where something has changed, the default way doesn’t quite fit anymore, and the next step isn’t obvious.

That’s often where the most important work begins.

If something important is not clear, let’s talk.
