Rhea’s leadership style mobilizes people to generate a shared sense of inspiration, joint leadership, and collaboration toward achieving equity driven results.

Specializing in restorative approaches to conflict, harm, and organizational transformation, Rhea has nearly 15 years of experience translating theory into practice. She has facilitated numerous restorative processes; designed and implemented programs and training curriculum; mentored and trained new practitioners; successfully led multi-stakeholder initiatives within union environments; implemented restorative practices in government organizations; and offers coaching, consultation, and facilitation for organizational health.
