Consulting

My role as a consultant involves applying the specialized knowledge I’ve garnered over the years to individuals or organizations as it pertains to the psychological aspects of work. 

Author Ibram X. Kendi states, “The heartbeat of antiracism is self-reflection, recognition, admission, and fundamentally self-critique…” Once you and your organization learn more about healing-centered engagement, it will be clear that an anti-racist approach is essential. We offer consultation to organizations that are considering a shift to a more healing-centered culture.
Connecting to employees’ cultural identities can strengthen their emotional attachment to their jobs. I provide consulting to companies and universities seeking to build stronger, more culturally inclusive work environments. To this end, I will educate your team about microaggressions, racism, sexism, and cultural diversity. I specialize in diversity, equity, and inclusion work, and will help your team learn cultural skills to improve engagement, effectiveness, and productivity with minorities in the workforce.

My areas of specialization related to consulting include

Diversity training
International individuals' mental health and help-seeking behavior
Asian Indian mental health
ADHD and associated issues such as procrastination, time management, and productivity
LGBTQIA+ ally trainings
Critical incident debriefing (for instance, providing guidance and referrals to individuals after a mass homicide event)

Our core values include a celebration of diversity, a strength-based approach, and connectedness

Our efforts are directed towards providing outreach and ‘advocacy to minority and international communities in Indiane.
