My coaching was shaped by years spent across hospital behavioral health units, emergency departments, community mental health, EAP services, and higher education classrooms filled with adult learners. Each setting revealed the same pattern: people doing their best inside systems that struggled to meet their needs.

In hospital and ED behavioral health, I witnessed human vulnerability at its peak. Crises happened quickly, yet the forces behind them stress, trauma, workplace pressure, inequity had been building for years. Those experiences taught me that diagnoses never tell the full story; systems and environments play a bigger role than anyone admits.

In community mental health, I saw resilience in its purest form. Individuals and families navigated instability while still showing incredible potential. Many crises could have been prevented with better workflows, trauma‑informed practices, and support that aligned with real‑life challenges.

My work in Employee Assistance Programs revealed how much employees and leaders carry behind the scenes. Burnout, conflict, caregiver strain, moral injury, and organizational stress often showed up as “performance issues.” What people needed was not judgment, but clarity, guidance, and a healthier system to operate within.

As an adjunct teaching adult learners, I saw students juggling jobs, families, health challenges, and major life transitions. Their success grew when they felt seen, respected, and supported as whole people, not just as students.

Across every environment, one truth stood out: people weren’t failing, systems were.

My coaching exists to bridge that gap. I help individuals and organizations navigate complexity, redesign behaviors, strengthen resilience, and create conditions where people can truly thrive.

1. What makes your coaching approach different from traditional leadership or wellness coaching?

My coaching blends behavioral health, leadership science, education, crisis systems, and human performance offering a truly interdisciplinary, polymath method that addresses root causes rather than surface‑level symptoms.

2. Who do you typically work with?

I support leaders, professionals, organizations, adult learners, and multidisciplinary teams in behavioral health, hospitals, higher education, community mental health, and corporate environments.

3. How does your background in hospital and ED behavioral health influence your coaching?

Crisis work taught me how stress, environment, and workflow affect behavior and decision‑making. It allows me to recognize patterns quickly and coach clients through high‑pressure, high‑stakes situations with clarity and stability.

4. What challenges do you help clients solve?

I help clients navigate burnout, role strain, system misalignment, leadership barriers, organizational dysfunction, invisible workload stress, interpersonal conflict, and transition or identity shifts.

5. How does your coaching support organizations?

I help institutions understand human behavior within their systems, improve workflows, strengthen leadership culture, enhance communication, and reduce preventable crises.

6. Do you offer coaching for teams in addition to individuals?

Yes. I provide team coaching to improve communication, reduce friction, clarify roles, and align behavior with organizational goals.

7. How does your experience in EAP settings inform your coaching?

EAP work revealed the “silent burdens” employees and leaders carry. My coaching integrates this awareness to address organizational stressors, prevent burnout, and support healthier workplace cultures.

8. How do you support adult learners or professionals returning to education?

I help adult students manage competing responsibilities, build confidence, improve academic performance, and strengthen their identity as scholars and leaders.

9. What can clients expect during the coaching process?

Clients can expect clarity, structure, deep insight, actionable steps, compassionate accountability, and support that honors both their humanity and their goals.

10. How do I know if your coaching is right for me or my organization?

If you’re facing complexity whether personal, professional, or systemic; and want guidance that integrates behavioral insight with leadership and practical strategy, my coaching is designed for you.
