Services
Strategic support tailored to the challenge — not a menu, but a method.
Every engagement starts with listening. I work with clients to understand where they are, what they're trying to accomplish, and what's getting in the way. The services below reflect the core of my practice, but the real work is always shaped by the specifics of the situation.
Stakeholder Engagement Strategy
Effective health policy doesn't happen in isolation — it requires coalitions, partnerships, and sustained relationships across sectors. I design and lead engagement strategies that bring together federal, state, tribal, local, and community stakeholders around shared priorities. This includes stakeholder mapping, relationship building, convening design, and long-term engagement planning.
Who this is for: Organizations launching new initiatives, agencies seeking cross-sector alignment, coalitions working to find common ground.
Health Policy Analysis & Navigation
Federal and state health policy is dense, layered, and constantly shifting. I help organizations understand the policy landscape and translate it into strategy — whether that's navigating Medicare and Medicaid requirements, understanding ACA provisions, or tracking regulatory changes that affect programs and funding.
Who this is for: Health systems, community organizations, and tribal health programs navigating federal or state policy environments.
Tribal Health & Sovereignty Consulting
I bring deep, sustained experience working with tribal nations, Indian Health Service, tribal health programs, and urban Indian health organizations. This isn't an add-on — it's a throughline of my career. I help organizations and agencies engage respectfully and effectively with tribal communities, align federal programs with tribal health needs, and navigate the unique policy and sovereignty considerations involved.
Who this is for: Federal and state agencies working with tribal communities, tribal health organizations seeking policy support, organizations building tribal partnerships.
Program Design & Implementation
From early-stage concept development through launch and operational refinement, I help organizations design programs that work within the systems they serve. This includes program architecture, implementation planning, staff and partner alignment, and performance frameworks.
Who this is for: Agencies and organizations standing up new programs, expanding existing ones, or redesigning programs that aren't delivering.
Federal & State Partnership Development
Building effective partnerships between federal agencies, state governments, tribal nations, and community organizations requires understanding how each operates — their incentives, constraints, timelines, and decision-making structures. I help clients build partnership strategies grounded in that understanding.
Who this is for: State agencies coordinating with federal partners, community organizations seeking government engagement, federal programs building regional relationships.
Meeting Facilitation & Strategic Convenings
I facilitate meetings and convenings where the stakes are real and the dynamics are complex. This isn't just moderation — it's facilitation informed by policy knowledge and stakeholder context, designed to move groups from conversation to commitment.
Who this is for: Cross-sector workgroups, policy coalitions, leadership retreats, and partner convenings where progress has stalled or alignment is needed.
How I Work
I take on a limited number of engagements at a time. This is intentional — the work benefits from attention, and my clients deserve more than a name on a proposal. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you — and likely know someone who is.
