I’m a seasoned leader and program strategist with over three decades of expertise and experience spanning organizational development, curriculum design, and strategic planning within higher education, mental health, nonprofit, and human services sectors. I have decades long experience guiding individuals personally and professionally through life’s most challenging conversations. Because of this expertise, I’ve built a platform utilizing the H.A.R.D. framework that I created that empowers people to speak with clarity, compassion, and confidence. Whether it’s a parent struggling to connect with a teen, a difficult discussion with a spouse, or a leader navigating providing tough feedback to their team, I guide individuals through the discomfort of hard conversations and into transformative connection.
I offer a suite of services designed to educate, inspire, and elevate through:
• Podcasting: Real talk on navigating emotional terrain with teens, partners, and colleagues
• Coaching & Consulting: Personalized support for individuals facing communication challenges
• Speaking Engagements: Keynotes and workshops that spark dialogue and drive change
• Online Courses & Seminars: Practical frameworks for handling tough conversations
My higher education consists of a B.A. in Sociology from the University of California, Berkeley ‘91, and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology, Magna Cum Laude, from John F. Kennedy University ‘04. My experience also spans a wide range of personal and professional development including:
• Director/Supervisor/Manager Career Experience – 25 years
• Income Development & Leadership Coaching – 20 years
• Therapist – Individual, Groups and Families - 10+ years
• Simba Women’s Process Training – Lead Trainer 10+ years
• The Landmark Forum
• Landmark Communications Course
• Landmark Self-Expression and Leadership Program
My work blends decades of insight, experience, and a passion for helping others grow, by exploring transformative themes that resonate deeply with today’s interpersonal communication challenges in this time of social media and technology.
