Why leaders work with me

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I work with leaders and teams who carry real responsibility.

I help them communicate more clearly, lead more effectively under pressure, and build the kind of resilience that holds when things get hard. The work is practical and direct. We focus on reducing reactive habits, improving coordination, and creating a more intentional culture so people are better prepared when challenges hit.

Before coaching, I spent more than three decades in emergency services in San Francisco, leading in high-stakes situations as a firefighter-paramedic, captain, and peer support team leader. I also know what it takes to recover and rebuild after sustained pressure. My own recovery from PTSD continues to shape the grounded approach I bring to this work.

Through coaching, workshops, and keynote talks, I help leaders build trust, navigate overwhelm, and create environments where people can do their best work, especially when the pressure is on.
