Services
You’re carrying the weight of culture on your shoulders.
Retention, engagement, mental health, belonging, and somehow you’re supposed to solve it all while hitting your business goals.
Most quick fixes and “youth trends” talks don’t move the needle.
Which is why, organizations bring me in.
I take what I’ve learned in my 20+ years as a licensed therapist and from thousands of hours with young people and translate it into practical strategies your leaders can actually use. No jargon. No guessing. Just the tools to connect, communicate, and keep your best people.
What you can expect:
No more walking on eggshells or second-guessing what Gen Z wants
Real insight from therapy rooms and workplaces (not white papers)
Clear scripts and strategies managers can apply right away
A culture that feels human and keeps your rising talent around
Ways to Work Together
Executive & People-Led Coaching
Give your leaders the words, tools, and confidence to actually lead Gen Z.
One-to-one or small-group coaching for executives, HR, and managers.
We focus on what’s really happening in your workplace: miscommunication, unspoken stress, and the disconnect between good intentions and results.
Great for CEOs, CHROs, HR leaders, front-line managers
Typical outcomes
Managers stop avoiding tough conversations and start having productive ones
Less conflict across generations, more clarity and trust
Leaders move from reaction mode to confident, human-centered leadership

Culture Diagnostics & Retention Roadmaps
If a trend could fix this, it would have by now. Let’s get to the root.

Quick-hit surveys + policy/communication review
Leadership debrief (what’s helping, what’s hurting)
90-day Retention Roadmap with owners, scripts, and metrics

Ongoing partnership for HR and leadership to stay aligned, adapt policies, and keep culture shifts moving forward.
Format
Monthly retainer
Real-time reviews of language, policy, or messaging before rollout
Standing office hours for your people team
