She provides coaching and consulting to individual executives, partnerships, teams and emerging leaders in the government, nonprofit and corporate arenas.

As a Corporate Scenes coach, she has been a key contributor to leadership development and coaching at Sandia National Laboratories.

Lucy's coaching framework is based on a system-centered approach that helps clients develop the skills to identify and explore the roles and contexts of the individual, the group and the broader organization. Her approach to coaching supports the understanding and awareness that fosters emotional intelligence while encouraging the alignment between individual goals and talents and the strategic goals of the organization. From her extensive training in dance, martial arts and yoga, Lucy also draws awareness to the mind/body connection to enhance leadership competency.

Lucy has taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels and has been a clinical faculty supervisor for group leaders at the University of California-San Francisco School of Medicine (Psychiatry department). Her professional associations include the American Group Psychological Association, the Professional Mentors and Coaches Association, and the System-Centered Training and Research Institute.
