Consulting

Build systems people can actually work inside.

I bring together psychology, executive leadership, and systems experience to help organizations understand what their people — and their structures — are asking for.

The people who make an organization interesting are often the same people who burn out first. They notice more, connect more dots, and absorb the cost of structures that were not designed for how they work.

This is not a generic diversity training. It is a close look at leadership, culture, communication, workload, and the conditions where the actual work happens.

Common starting points

Your best people are burning out.

The employees who notice the most, anticipate the most, and care the most are also the ones most likely to quietly fall apart when systems ignore how they actually work.

Teams are stuck in recurring conflict.

Miscommunication becomes a pattern when different nervous systems, working styles, and communication needs are treated as personality problems instead of design problems.

A new initiative is not landing.

Change fails when the people designing it do not understand the lived experience of the people asked to adopt it — especially in behavioral-health, education, and youth-serving systems.

Engagements

Leadership consulting

For executives, founders, and managers whose organizations depend on bright, sensitive, high-intensity minds. We look at how leadership style, expectations, and structure shape who thrives and who leaves.

Team workshops

Focused sessions that reset how a team communicates, decides, recovers from stress, and makes room for different working styles without lowering standards.

Systems strategy

Consultation on organizational culture, burnout, behavioral-health systems, and the invisible structures around the work. Useful when the problem is bigger than one team.

Why this perspective exists

I have worked inside large systems, not just studied them.

As an Assistant Commissioner in the NYC Administration for Children's Services, Division of Youth and Family Justice, I helped oversee roughly $10 million in behavioral-health and youth-serving contracts and was involved in major juvenile-justice initiatives including Raise the Age and Close to Home.

I also worked on the Bellevue Hospital–ACS partnership serving justice-involved youth, supervised a clinical team at Rikers Island, and held a Clinical Assistant Professor appointment in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine from 2018 to 2021.

That mix — clinical depth, leadership inside complex public systems, and direct work with neurodivergent individuals and families — is what makes this consulting practical rather than theoretical.

Not sure which engagement fits?

Most consulting relationships start with a single conversation about what is actually happening — and what you have already tried.
