You didn't start your business to become an HR department.
But here you are - navigating a termination, untangling compliance challenges, trying to hold your team together while everything is moving fast.
That's exactly where I come in - an HR Consultant who works exclusively with small businesses. No corporate bureaucracy. No one-size fits all playbooks. Just experienced, grounded HR support - available when you need it, right sized for where you are.
HR On-Demand. Same-day HR support for when you need answers now.
Sometimes HR can't wait. A difficult conversation, an unexpected resignation, a situation you've never navigated before - these moments don't fit neatly into a project scope. My On-Demand HR support gives you direct access to experienced guidance when something comes up and you need to think it through with someone who knows what they are doing.
Projects & Programs. For when you have something specific to build or fix.
Some HR needs aren't emergencies - they're projects. Things you know need to happen, but keep getting pushed to the back burner because the day-to-day takes over.
Employee Handbooks built for your culture, not copied from a template
Onboarding programs that actually make an impact
Pay transparency and compensation reviews
Performance framework designed for small teams
Layoff or restructuring support - handled with care and legal awareness
Customized Learning & Development programs to help your team grow (in their own way)
Claims and Investigations for sensitive employee relations that requires solid HR expertise and handling
Workforce Planning and Organization Design to shape your company's structure and ensure you have the right talent in place
HR Audits, Hiring, and more

If any of these sound familiar, you're not behind - you're just growing.
Compliance is getting more complex. Pay transparency laws, expanded leave mandates, worker classification rules - the landscape shifted in 2026, and small businesses carry the same legal obligations as large corporations.
Hiring and keeping good people is harder. Candidates want flexibility, development, and a workplace that feels human. Competing on culture matters more than ever when you can't compete on a budget alone.
You've outgrown winging it. What worked at 5 employees doesn't work at 15. The policies, conversations, and structures you need now are different - and the cost of getting them wrong is real.
You need a thought partner, not just a task-doer. HR decisions affect real people and has real risks. You deserve someone who thinks alongside you; not just someone who sends you a template.

Fractional HR Partnership. For when you need someone in your corner, consistently.
As your business grows, HR becomes less of a one-time fix and more of a growing responsibility. A functional HR partner gives you the expertise of a seasoned HR professional - without the cost of a full-time hire. We work together on a monthly basis, building the people infrastructure your business needs to scale: policies, compliance, hiring strategy, and everything in between.
BEST FOR
Businesses between 10 - 50 employees who are ready to take HR seriously as a business function - not just a back-office task.
HOW IT WORKS
Monthly retainers typically range from $1,500 - $4,500 per month, scoped to your team size, hours and goals. We determine the right fit together in our first conversation.
WHO THIS IS FOR
I work best with small business owners and founders who:
Are somewhere between their first hire and their fifteenth
Want HR that's practical, people-first, and actually usable
Are navigating a moment of change - growth, restructuring, a difficult team dynamic, or building from scratch
Value straightforwardness and want a consultant who will tell them the truth, not just what they want to hear
I work across industries, with a particular depth in both service-based and consumer product businesses, creative agencies, non-profits, and mission-driven organizations.
A NOTE ON WHAT I DON'T DO
I'm not a payroll processor, a PEO, or an employment attorney. If you need those services, I'll tell you and help you find the right fit.
What I do is the strategic and interpersonal work of HR: building the systems, navigating the hard conversations, and making sure your people and your business are protected and set up to thrive.
Ready to stop figuring out HR alone?
Let's start with a conversation. No pressure, no pitch - just 30 minutes to talk through where you are and whether I'm the right person to help.
