Work with me

I work with people and organizations navigating complexity, questioning established practices, and looking for more humane ways to research, design, lead, and deliver services.

My approach brings together clinical social work, design research, systems thinking, and organizational experience. I pay attention not only to the work itself, but also to the relationships, power dynamics, and institutional conditions that shape how it happens.

I believe meaningful collaboration requires curiosity, trust, shared responsibility, and a willingness to examine the ways our own practices may contribute to harm.

Here are a few ways we can work together.

Strategic advising and organizational care

Bring me in when you need a thoughtful partner to help navigate complexity, strengthen ethical decision-making, or rethink how your organization works.

I work alongside leaders and teams to examine the organizational conditions that shape their work, including questions of power, responsibility, professional boundaries, and care.

This might include ongoing strategic advising, reflective consultation, researcher care, supervision and intervision practices, or supporting teams working through sensitive or emotionally demanding challenges.

I'm particularly interested in partnerships that treat care as an organizational responsibility rather than something left to individual goodwill.

Trauma-responsive research and design

Bring me in when your work involves complex human experiences, sensitive topics, or services where poor design can have significant consequences.

I help organizations develop research and design approaches that are ethically grounded, trauma-responsive, and attentive to the people and systems involved.

This may include research planning and delivery, service design, research ethics and participant safeguards, accessibility, consent practices, and assessing where existing services or processes may unintentionally create additional burdens or harm.

My experience spans government services, healthcare, homelessness, disaster assistance, public benefits, and other high-stakes environments.

Workshops and learning experiences

Bring me in when your team wants to move beyond good intentions and develop more thoughtful, practical ways of working.

I design and facilitate workshops, training, and reflective learning experiences that help teams translate trauma-informed principles and an ethic of care into everyday practice.

Topics include trauma-responsive design, ethical research, researcher readiness and care, power and positionality, consent and agency, organizational responsibility, and reflective practice.

My sessions encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and shared learning, with an emphasis on what participants can apply in their own contexts.

Speaking and thought partnership

Bring me in when you want to challenge conventional thinking and create space for new perspectives on care, design, technology, and systems change.

I deliver keynotes, invited talks, guest lectures, and facilitated conversations for audiences across social work, design, technology, government, healthcare, and education.

I also partner with organizations and individuals exploring new ideas, developing initiatives, or seeking an interdisciplinary perspective on emerging questions.

My work asks what becomes possible when care is treated not as an aspiration, but as foundational to how institutions and systems operate.

How I work.

I take on a limited number of engagements to give each partnership the attention and care it deserves.

My work is collaborative and tailored to the context, needs, and responsibilities of the people involved. I value clear expectations, realistic timelines, transparency, and equitable compensation.

I work best with partners who are willing to question assumptions, engage with complexity, and take meaningful responsibility for what they learn.

For sensitive or ethically complex projects, I may recommend beginning with a short advisory engagement to clarify responsibilities, risks, readiness, and an appropriate path forward.

Let’s work together.

If you're navigating a complex challenge, rethinking how your organization operates, or exploring what a more care-centered approach might make possible, I'd welcome a conversation.

Please share a little about your organization, what you're working on, the support you're looking for, and your anticipated timeline and budget.
