Why bring someone in

By the time someone resigns, the team has usually known something was wrong for months.

Burnout, grief, and crisis don’t stay in someone’s personal life. They show up as missed deadlines, quiet attrition, tense meetings, and managers who don’t know what they’re allowed to say.

An EAP link in a benefits deck is not the same as a person in the room. I come in, name what’s happening in language your team actually uses, and leave people with something they can do on Monday.

What I offer organizations

Five ways to bring support into the room.

Burnout prevention training

90 minutes to half day · 10–60 people · On-site or virtual

A practical, evidence-based workshop on what burnout actually is, how to recognize it early, and what a team can do about it before people start leaving.

How chronic stress changes the brain, body, and performance
The difference between stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression
Early warning signs in individuals and in teams
Regulation and recovery skills people can use the same week

Workplace mental health workshops

60–90 minutes · Any team size · On-site or virtual

Plain-spoken mental health education for the whole team — no clichés, no trust falls. Built for engineering, design, sales, and operations cultures.

Anxiety, sleep, focus, and sustainable performance
ADHD and neurodivergence at work
Boundaries, workload, and the always-on culture
How and when to use the benefits you already have

Grief and loss support

Single session or a short series · On-site preferred

When a team loses a colleague, a client, or someone close to them, people need a room where the loss can be spoken about out loud.

Facilitated space for a team after a death or serious illness
Guidance for managers on what to say — and what not to
Normalizing grief's effect on focus, memory, and capacity
Follow-up care and referral pathways

Crisis and critical incident response

Rapid response · Same-week availability when possible

Layoffs, a workplace accident, a safety incident, a public crisis. Short-notice, on-site support so people aren't left to process it alone at their desks.

On-site group debriefs in the days following an incident
Drop-in one-on-one support for the most affected
Consultation for leadership on communication and pacing
A plan for the weeks after the news cycle ends

Manager and leadership training

One-hour lunch and learn · Half day · Three-part series · 6–25 leaders

Most managers want to help and have no idea how. This gives them language, boundaries, and a clear sense of where their job ends.

How to notice a struggling employee early
How to open the conversation without playing therapist
Leave, accommodations, and what to route to HR
Protecting the manager's own capacity

How it works

One

A short call

Twenty minutes. You tell me what's happening on the team and what you've already tried.

Two

A tailored plan

I send a clear proposal: format, length, what we'll cover, and cost. Nothing generic, nothing off a shelf.

Three

We gather

I come to you — or join remotely — and afterward send leadership a short summary of what I heard and what I'd recommend next.

Questions HR asks

The practical details.

Who do you work with?: Bay Area companies of all sizes — technology, healthcare, nonprofits, professional services, and public agencies. I've spent thirteen years working almost exclusively with people in the Bay Area tech community, so those cultures are deeply familiar.
Do you travel on site?: Yes. I hold sessions on site throughout San Francisco, the Peninsula, and the East Bay, and I offer virtual sessions for distributed teams.
How much does it cost?: Pricing depends on scope, format, and group size. Tell me what you're facing and I'll send a straightforward proposal — usually within a few days.
How quickly can you come in for a crisis?: For critical incidents, grief, or acute crisis I try to hold same-week availability. Write to me and mark it urgent.
Is this therapy?: No. These are educational and supportive sessions for groups, not clinical treatment, and nothing shared is part of a medical record. When someone needs ongoing care, I help them find it.
What are your credentials?: I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seventeen years of clinical experience and advanced certifications in ADHD and trauma.

Tell me what your team is carrying. I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right person for it.
