Coaching For a Changed Mindset

For individuals navigating their personal or professional journey

Career and Leadership Coaching

With my extensive organizational leadership experience, I have developed a coaching practice that supports career, nonprofit, labor, and community leaders as they navigate complex responsibilities and ambitious goals. Through one-on-one coaching, I help clients clarify their priorities, strengthen their leadership practices, increase their capacity for difficult conversations, develop greater distress tolerance, and translate their values into sustainable action.

Trauma-Informed Healing Coaching‍ ‍
I help people understand how difficult experiences have shaped their beliefs, emotions, relationships, boundaries, and sense of self. Through trauma-informed coaching, we create space to slow down, notice what is happening beneath the surface, and develop practical tools for grounding, self-awareness, communication, rest, and intentional action. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in respect for your autonomy. We do not treat your struggles as personal failures or isolate them from the systems and conditions that shape our lives. Instead, we explore the patterns that may be holding you back and identify practices that support greater clarity, connection, and choice.

Positive Psychology Coaching

 I help clients draw on their existing strengths, values, relationships, and lived experience to create meaningful, sustainable change. Together, we explore what supports your well-being, clarify the life and work you want to build, and turn insight into practical action. My approach is grounded in evidence-informed positive psychology and shaped by compassion, curiosity, and accountability. Coaching is not about forced positivity or ignoring pain; it is about making room for the full truth of your experience while developing the resources, practices, and confidence to move forward with greater purpose and possibility.

Not sure which focus fits?

The complimentary session is a chance to share what’s bringing you to coaching, ask questions, and decide together which approach best supports your needs. It is a conversation to find the right fit—not a commitment to continue.

Coaching is educational and skills-based. It can complement, but does not replace, therapy or licensed healthcare services

Learning Circles and Workshops (Workshops designed around your people, goals, and context)

I offer workshops and facilitated learning sessions for organizers, workers, teams, networks, and organizations seeking practical tools for reflection, relationship-building, and collective action. Workshops can be requested and customized around the topics most relevant to your group. Sessions may focus on organizing, leadership, power, unlearning, resilience, communication, campaign development, or organizational practice.

Possible topics include:

  • Community organizing basics

  • Campaign strategy and strategic planning

  • Building collective power

  • Leadership development for organizers and worker leaders

  • Member engagement and participation

  • Power mapping and stakeholder analysis

  • Communication, conflict, and difficult conversations

  • Resilience and sustainable organizing

  • Somatic grounding practices for organizers and leaders

  • Unlearning internalized systems and inherited beliefs

  • Anti-Blackness and white-supremacy culture in organizing spaces

  • Decolonized facilitation and shared decision-making

  • Organizational reflection and alignment

  • Turning shared values into practical campaigns


Each workshop can be adapted in length, format, and emphasis. Depending on your needs, a session may include teaching, discussion, reflection, role-play, case studies, planning exercises, or take-home tools. You don’t need to choose from a fixed menu. If your group is working through a specific challenge or wants to develop a particular skill, we can design a session around your goals, participants, and current conditions.


Outcome: Participants leave with shared language, practical tools, and clearer next steps connected to the work they are already doing.

Strategy and Support (for organizations)

I help organizations, coalitions, unions, and community groups turn shared values into organized campaigns that improve material conditions. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience building and leading campaigns at local, national, and international levels, I bring practical support to groups navigating complex goals, competing priorities, internal challenges, and changing political conditions.

Together, we clarify what you are trying to change, identify where power lies, build an effective strategy, and create a plan for moving from shared concern to collective action.

Support may include:

  • Campaign strategy and development

  • Organizing strategy and structure

  • Leadership development and member engagement

  • Stakeholder, power, and opposition analysis

  • Strategic planning for unions, coalitions, and community organizations

  • Campaign messaging and narrative development

  • Team roles, decision-making, and accountability structures

  • Partnership and coalition strategy

  • Support for implementing and adapting a campaign plan

  • Organizational reflection and alignment connected to campaign goals

My approach is practical, participatory, and grounded in the knowledge of the people most affected by the issue. Strategy is not created for communities from the outside. It is developed with the people whose lives, labor, and leadership are central to the work.

Outcome: A clearer campaign direction, stronger organizing infrastructure, and practical next steps for building collective power and winning meaningful change.

Facilitation and Organizational Reflection

I facilitate conversations that help organizations and groups examine how power, culture, and decision-making shape their work. These sessions can support teams that are experiencing conflict, entering a period of transition, developing a campaign, or seeking greater alignment between their values and their internal practices.

Facilitation may include:

  • Organizational reflection and alignment

  • Team and leadership retreats

  • Campaign planning sessions

  • Coalition and partnership meetings

  • Strategy discussions

  • Difficult conversations

  • Shared decision-making processes

  • Debriefs and learning sessions

  • Reflection after campaigns, conflicts, or major organizational changes

My role is to create a structured and supportive process that helps participants listen deeply, name what is happening, identify patterns, and move toward decisions or next steps.

Outcome: Greater clarity, stronger participation, and a shared path forward.
