You probably do not need to blow up your life.

You may need someone willing to tell you what is actually going on.

I work with capable, high-achieving people who are overwhelmed, burned out, stuck, living in recurring crisis mode, or quietly aware that parts of their life are getting harder to manage.
You may already have thought about the problem from twelve different angles.
You may also believe you are smarter than most of the people giving you advice.
Fair enough.
Bring me the whole package.
We will figure out what is actually happening, what matters now, what can wait, what your realistic options are, and which decisions are likely to solve the problem versus create several exciting new ones.This is structured, directive, non-clinical decision support.I will listen. I will analyze. And when useful, I will tell you what I think you should do.

About

I work at the intersection of decision-making, systems, power, and accountability.My work focuses on helping people and organizations understand what is actually happening inside complex situations: what is driving the problem, where the real constraints are, which options are viable, and what decision needs to be made next.I’m particularly interested in moments where people become stuck inside competing pressures, institutional dynamics, unclear incentives, or repeated cycles of action that create motion without producing resolution.I’m a decision strategist with a background in social work, trauma-focused care, program development, organizational leadership, healthcare, and policy implementation. Before moving into this work, I spent years inside complex human systems—providing trauma therapy, helping develop and open a trauma recovery center, working within major academic medical centers, navigating institutional decision-making, leading teams, and translating policy into practice.
That range of experience gave me a broad working knowledge of how people, organizations, and systems behave under pressure. It also taught me that difficult situations are rarely difficult because people lack information. More often, the problem is that the situation is crowded with competing incentives, unclear power, institutional constraints, emotional pressure, and too many people offering advice without understanding the system around the decision.My academic training is in social work, with graduate study focused on people, institutions, systems, and the conditions that shape behavior and decision-making. My professional work has crossed direct practice, program development, organizational leadership, healthcare, policy, and institutional analysis.Today, I use that background differently.
I help people and organizations make sense of complicated situations, identify what is actually driving them, distinguish real constraints from assumed ones, and determine what to do next.
I’m especially interested in decisions involving transition, power, institutional failure, competing obligations, and situations where the conventional advice is technically reasonable but practically useless.My perspective is informed by professional, policy, and lived experience. My work is analytical, direct, and non-clinical. I’m not here to tell you how to feel about a decision. I’m here to help you understand it well enough to make one.*This work is relevant anywhere a decision matters, the situation is complicated, and the obvious answer is not necessarily the right one.
