About Barbara

I am dedicated to guiding individuals and organizations through impactful, positive transitions.

As a woman and single mother, I’m familiar with the unique challenges women encounter in the workplace. As a person of color, I know firsthand the biases and hurdles that come with navigating both professional and everyday life in America.

With decades of experience as an employee and now as a mediator, coach, and change management practitioner, my focus is on helping individuals transition from where they are to where they want to be. Whether they are seeking healing, aiming to make amends, or striving to reach common ground with others, personally or in the workplace, I’m here to support and guide you forward.

My work with nonprofit organizations included resolving workplace conflicts, fostering sustainable and collaborative working relationships for the staff involved. I approached each situation with a commitment to building not only solutions but also a culture of support and mutual respect that endured long after the change process was complete.

Also, with several years of experience in change management, I’ve assisted with enabling smoother transitions during organizational changes, helping teams adapt with resilience and purpose.
