Experience & Approach
For over 20 years, I’ve partnered with individuals and organizations using behavioral design to cultivate leadership, learning, and systemic change from the inside out. I founded Coaching for Change with a simple but radical idea: that change rooted in human experience is the only change that lasts.
My work lives at the intersection of the science of change, design thinking, and leadership development. Whether I’m coaching a new executive navigating leadership transitions, facilitating organizational learning, or building relevant interventions that create change, my approach is grounded in both the science of behavior and the art of human connection.
I bring 20+ years of leadership experience in corporate, start up, and nonprofit spaces leading systems change initiatives. My professional path has been shaped by roles as a psychologist, organizational leader, strategic consultant, coach, and social entrepreneur.
Along the way, I earned credentials:
- Associate Certified Coach, International Coaching Federation
- Certified Strengths-Based Workplace Consultant, VIA Institute
- Certified Positive Psychology Coach
- Healing Centered Engagement Practitioner
This breadth of experience informs every engagement: whether I’m supporting a nonprofit CEO, a corporate client, or a social impact startup, I hold both the vision of systemic transformation and the humanity of each person in the room.

Elevating Impact Through Narrative Clarity
A mid-sized youth development organization struggled to articulate its effectiveness despite doing deeply meaningful work. What began as outcome measurement consulting evolved into a full organizational transformation.

Through strategic discovery, stakeholder collaboration, and evidence-based modeling, the organization shifted from disconnected data to a unified story of impact.
