Work with Me

My work with organizations and leaders focuses on helping nonprofits navigate complex leadership challenges, strengthen organizational culture, and align their values with how they operate.

Organizations typically engage with me in one of two ways: through organizational consulting with Healing Equity United or through leadership simulations and experiential learning programs.

  • Most of my consulting work happens through Healing Equity United (HEU). Through HEU, we partner with nonprofit organizations working to build stronger leadership, healthier organizational cultures, and more equitable systems. Our work commonly includes:

    • advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) through trainings and assessments

    • guiding organizations through strategic planning

    • facilitating difficult conversations and conflict within teams or boards

    • supporting organizations navigating internal tension between mission, values, and practice

  • I design and facilitate leadership simulations and experiential learning programs.

    These programs use structured scenarios and interactive strategy simulations to help leaders explore:

    • decision-making under pressure

    • leadership dynamics within teams

    • navigating uncertainty and complex organizational challenges

    • communication and collaboration in high-stakes situations

    Simulation-based learning allows leaders to step outside their day-to-day roles and practice new approaches in a structured, reflective environment.

  • I also coach with nonprofit leaders navigating significant professional transitions—such as stepping into executive leadership, launching a consulting practice, or working through complex leadership challenges.

Why Work With Me

My approach to this work is shaped by more than two decades of experience leading nonprofits, navigating complex organizational challenges, and working alongside communities addressing violence, inequality, and systemic barriers.

I’ve served as both a nonprofit executive and a consultant, which gives me a deep understanding of the realities leaders face: limited resources, competing priorities, and the pressure to deliver impact while navigating internal dynamics and external expectations.

Throughout my career, I have led 80+ organizations through moments of crisis, transition, and transformation—rebuilding teams, stabilizing operations, and helping organizations reconnect with the values that guide their work.

Today, I bring that experience into my consulting and facilitation. My work focuses on helping leaders navigate difficult conversations, strengthen trust within teams, and create organizations that more fully reflect their mission and values.

Because the work of social change is complex—and leadership within it requires clarity, courage, and care.
