Knowing how to connect with people has always come easily for me. Perhaps because I have a deep curiosity and passion for understanding the human condition- but also because I believe that connection is possible and so I tend to persist. My training as a mediator, facilitator, emotional intelligence coach, teacher of somatics (body/mind connections), along with over two decades of practice in Buddhist meditation all support me in deepening this pursuit.

As the founder of River Logic Partners, a leadership coaching and consulting firm, I support leaders and teams around issues of communication, conflict, and change. Believing that strong leadership requires candor, courage, and compassion, I teach the skills to tackle tough conversations, while also creating cultures of high trust. Basically, I help others to also build deeper and more meaningful connections - even across their wide differences.

My book, "RiverLogic – Tools to Transform Resistance and Create Flow in all of our Relationships" is a distillation of my journey thus far, using the metaphor of the river and qualities of water as our teacher - all with the hope of creating a world where we have more self-awareness, civility, and openness with each other.

I love to swim in natural bodies of water anytime that I can, hike in the hills, and adventure travel off the beaten path. I am becoming a mosaic artist.
