For over 25 years, I have helped leaders improve relationships with their teams and customers.

I support leaders in making strategic decisions and facilitate teams in real-time team action planning, leading to increased commitment and accomplishing goals, both short- and long-term.
My coaching clients gain insights from using the EQ In Action Profile, increasing awareness of their strengths and the challenges they face when they are in stressful situations. They find it to be a valuable tool for setting the stage to improve relationships both at work and in their personal lives. When combined with related conversations, it adds richness to the coaching process, providing a useful framework for learning and growth.
I bring interpersonal skills from my Licensed Clinical Social Work education (MSW from University of Washington) and work experience, including sensitivity in dealing with all types of people. I directed the Total Quality Improvement program at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System, completing a career at the VA before establishing a consulting firm where I coach leaders and facilitate retreats and training for large and small healthcare and government organizations. I currently hold contracts for organizational development and executive coaching with the University of Washington and Washington State University.
