For Organizations
When the unthinkable happens at work, your people will look to you. Be ready.
No leader wants to imagine a critical incident in their workplace — an act of violence, the sudden loss of a colleague, a traumatic event that shakes the whole organization. But the organizations that recover well are the ones that prepared before they had to. I help businesses do both: build readiness before a crisis, and respond with skill and compassion when one occurs.
This work draws on three decades of clinical experience and years of frontline response to mass violence incidents across the country. I lead this work alongside a trusted network of experienced crisis response professionals, which means organizations of any size — from a single office to a multi-site company — get the right level of support, quickly. We bring the kind of expertise usually reserved for large-scale tragedies to the workplace, where leaders are increasingly expected to protect not just operations, but people.
Services
Crisis Preparedness Planning
Work with leadership and HR to develop a human-centered crisis response plan: who does what, how employees are supported, how communication happens, and how leaders show up in the first hours and days. Most continuity plans cover systems and facilities; this covers your people.
Leadership & Manager Training
Prepare the people your employees will actually turn to. Training covers psychological first aid for the workplace, trauma-informed communication, recognizing distress, and leading a team through the aftermath of a critical incident.
Critical Incident Response
When an event occurs, my team and I provide on-site and remote support: guidance for leadership, structured support for affected employees, and a roadmap for the weeks that follow. Because I work with a network of vetted crisis response professionals, we can respond at the scale and speed the situation requires — the response an organization mounts in the first days shapes recovery for months.
Post-Incident Recovery Consulting
Recovery doesn’t end when the news cycle does. I help organizations navigate the longer arc: anniversaries, returning employees, ongoing support needs, and rebuilding a sense of safety and trust.
Why This Matters
How an organization responds to a traumatic event becomes part of its story — for employees, families, and the community. A prepared, compassionate response protects your people first, and in doing so protects retention, trust, and reputation. Preparedness is not pessimism; it’s leadership.
The best time to build a crisis response capability is before you need one. Let’s talk about what readiness looks like for your organization.
