I believe we are made for connection.

Each of us has unique strengths, perspectives, and gifts to contribute. We thrive when we feel connected to ourselves, to one another, and to the communities we're part of. Yet today's fast-paced world often leaves us feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns that make relationships harder than they need to be.

The way we see ourselves, other people, and the situations around us shapes every conversation we have. When we learn to see differently, we begin to respond differently. Small shifts in perspective can open the door to greater understanding, better decisions, and healthier relationships.

My work is about building the capacity and confidence to navigate conflict productively. Whether I'm facilitating difficult conversations, coaching leaders, or teaching communication skills, my goal is the same: to help people strengthen relationships while honoring the needs of each individual.

I believe healthy systems are built one conversation at a time. Families, organizations, and communities become stronger when people have the skills to communicate with curiosity, navigate differences with respect, and work together toward shared solutions.

You'll notice a sphere throughout my work. For me, it represents the strength that comes from seeing situations from multiple perspectives. Unlike a box with fixed sides and corners, a sphere invites us to move around it, discovering new viewpoints without losing sight of the whole. It reminds us that we are both individuals and part of something larger—and that our greatest strength comes when those two realities work in harmony.

My mission is to help create the conversations and systems that allow people and communities to flourish together.

I believe every person has inherent worth, unique gifts, and the capacity to make a meaningful contribution to the world. My work is rooted in the belief that healthier relationships create stronger organizations, families, and communities, and that lasting change begins when we learn to see ourselves and one another differently.

As a facilitator, coach, and trainer, I help individuals, leaders, and organizations build the capacity and confidence to navigate conflict productively, strengthen relationships, and collaborate differently. My approach combines systems thinking with practical communication tools, helping people recognize patterns, engage with curiosity, and create solutions that last beyond the immediate challenge.

Before founding Harmony Works, I spent more than twelve years as a mediator and collaborative attorney. While I enjoyed helping clients, I often found myself wishing I had met them years earlier—before misunderstandings had hardened into positions and relationships had become strained. Those experiences shaped my conviction that we can do more than resolve conflict. We can equip people with the skills to communicate, collaborate, and lead differently from the start.

In 2023, a season of unexpected challenges—including a broken ankle, breast cancer, and multiple surgeries—gave me an opportunity I hadn't anticipated: time to pause, reflect, pray, and reconsider how I wanted to use my gifts. I decided it was time to answer the call I felt to help people more proactively before conflict takes hold. Harmony Works was born from that conviction.

My commitment to helping people and communities flourish was inspired long before my professional career. My mother described herself as "a professional volunteer." At 37, she was diagnosed with a condition that carried the constant risk of a fatal aneurysm. Rather than allowing uncertainty to define her, she chose to focus on making a difference “while she was on this side of the grass”. She taught me that we are not measured by how much time we have, but by how faithfully we use the opportunities before us.

That lesson continues to guide my work. I believe every conversation has the potential to strengthen relationships, every leader has the ability to shape healthier cultures, and every community becomes stronger when people are equipped to communicate with curiosity, collaborate with intention, and live into the unique contributions they were created to make.
