Transform your workplace into a space of growth, balance and innovation instead of a cause of stress.

I partner with compassionate workplaces to foster mental health for all, through speaking, coaching & training.

The work I do to advance mental health in the workplace has transformed teams & individual interactions. I believe that the workplace is a critical part of the solution to our mental health crisis.
Mental health is good for the employee, good for leadership, good for the organization & good for society. I blend experience, training & humor to the challenge of creating mentally healthy working environments.

Put mental well-being at the core of your culture!
