Psychoeducation, Consulting & Coaching

Helping people and organizations work better, together and within themselves.

Psychological principles can be powerful tools for strengthening and optimizing leadership, relationships, communication, decision-making, and resilience.

Through EDI, I provide psychoeducational programs, consulting, and coaching for businesses, organizations, executives, leaders, teams, couples, and families who want to improve the way they think, communicate, respond to challenges, and work together.

I draw on my expertise in psychological concepts such as human behavior, relationships, communication, emotional intelligence, conflict, boundaries, and behavioral change to help solve consequential organizational problems and strengthen organizational performance.

Ways to work together

  • Virtual programs
  • In-person services
  • Experiential learning

Formats depend on the service and the needs of the individual, family, group or organization.
