TWO WAYS OF LISTENING

FOR WHAT MATTERS

Trauma-informed coaching and visual consulting both demand deep listening, pattern recognition, and the ability to work with complexity rather than against it.

After more than a decade supporting high-stakes conversations across public health, government, education, Indigenous communities, the arts, and nonprofits, I’m at home inside complexity. I can track the side quests, hold the tension, and see the patterns emerging.

You’ll be met where you are, and I’ll keep up with where you’re going.

Burnout coaching

Ever feel like you weren't wired for this world?

You probably weren't — for this version of it, anyway.

Burnout isn't a personal failure. It's the predictable result of a system that treats productivity as a moral value and conformity as the price of belonging. It hits hardest for sensitive, gifted, and neurodivergent people — the ones who've been masking the longest, performing the hardest, and asking the least of the world in return.

Rest helps. Boundaries help. But they don't fix the underlying problem: that most of us were never taught how to actually be ourselves. We learned discipline and performance. We never learned our own rhythms, our natural motivation, or how to trust our own judgment.

That's the skills gap. You're not broken.

My coaching is grounded in unschooling principles — we follow your natural rhythms and build around them rather than against them. We reconnect you with the curiosity, creativity, and self-trust that are your actual fuel. Trauma-informed and non-pathologizing, we don't optimize you. We help you stop running someone else's operating system.

Visual Consulting

Visual consulting helps groups see and communicate the patterns shaping their work — especially in high-stakes contexts where trust, nuance, and cultural sensitivity aren't optional.

Through graphic recording, I listen closely and make complex conversations visible in real time — capturing not just what was said, but what it meant, so nothing important gets lost in translation. Graphic facilitation supports more deliberate, inclusive dialogue in rooms where multiple perspectives need to be genuinely heard. Illustration and hand-drawn video turn complex ideas into communication that lands across audiences and sticks.
