For the people holding the pressure in healthcare and tech.

Let's Talk

IFS-informed leadership and team development for medical and technology organizations across Washington State.

In today’s economic climate, your people are navigating unprecedented workloads, emotional fatigue, and constant change. In high-stakes companies, this is especially prevalent.

Now, as the AI age accelerates, the pressure has only intensified. Decision-making is faster, expectations are higher, and the boundaries between work and rest are thinner than ever. 

Despite new benefits, mindfulness apps, and resilience training, burnout remains high whilst engagement scores plateau and turnover continues to rise.

Rather than just managing pressure, progressive companies are transforming the patterns that create it, such as overextension and emotional withdrawal that quietly erode engagement from the inside out.

That’s where this work begins.

As an HR, L&D, or leader in your company, perhaps you’ve noticed:

  • Stretched teams/members who make mistakes because of systems issues that prevent them from easily getting help or listening to quiet concerns within themselves. This can include leaders and team members who do “secret math” in their heads to avoid having uncomfortable conversations.

The solution: IFS-informed leadership & team development

I support organizations in building psychological safety, resilience, and authentic leadership capacity using principles from Internal Family Systems (IFS),  an evidence-based model used globally in performance, trauma recovery and emotional regulation.

This proven approach gives people a framework for understanding the parts of themselves that drive conflict, self-criticism, reactions and avoidance, then teaches them how to lead from their most grounded, resourceful Self.

The results are aligned teams, clearer, confident leaders and sustainable performance throughout the organisation.

Ways I work with your organization

  • A confidential, high-impact coaching program helping leaders identify the internal patterns that affect how they operate in your company, and replace them with clarity, consistency, and purpose.

    Made for senior and emerging leaders navigating high-stakes decision-making, complex teams, or rapid organizational change.

    Particularly valuable for executives who are successful on paper but privately struggling with pressure, perfectionism, or fatigue that limits their effectiveness and presence.

  • A half-day or full-day workshop introducing IFS-informed self-leadership principles for senior teams. Participants learn to recognize when they’re leading from tension and pressure rather than presence, and how to recalibrate so that better outcomes are assured.

    For when your senior team is technically strong but emotionally stretched - leaders are doing the right things on paper but struggling to inspire, connect, or sustain their teams through change.

  • A practical team workshop designed to transform how colleagues handle stress, conflict, and change, creating an emotionally intelligent foundation for innovation.

    If teams are technically brilliant but communication breaks down under stress, this session gives them a shared language and framework to rebuild trust and navigate tension without defensiveness.

  • A structured 3-part program helping teams detect early signs of burnout, reconnect with their motivation, and apply IFS-informed tools for daily regulation. 

    This series helps teams recover their balance, strengthen agreement, and re-engage with purpose.
