A Better Version of YOU...today.

Mental Health-Focused Executive Coaching

Welcome to MHM.Today

Mental Health Maintenance is a 1-to-1 Executive Coaching program created with the goal of having your Mental Health front and center to achieve great success in both your work life and at home. 

Mental Health + Executive Coaching + Daily Maintenance

As I've found throughout my personal journey in mental health and as well as being a senior leader in my past roles, any consistent improvement in your work or personal life starts with the ability to keep one's mind, body and spirit in balance the best you can, every day. This consistent "maintenance" of yourself each day will help you grow as both a person as well as a professional, resulting in a better overall sense of one's self and ultimately, greater peace of mind.

At MHM, we first focus on your ongoing mental health maintenance as your foundation needed to achieve any success. The key part to understand is that true mental health maintenance is done in a day-by-day, minute-by-minute, moment-by-moment process that can always be improved every day. So, our focus is what you can be today, which has learned from your yesterday, which then will help you have a better tomorrow.

About Me

I am a Certified Executive Coach specializing in supporting individuals navigating mental health challenges in their workplace and personal lives. With a solid foundation as a Marketing Operations Leader for 20 years, I bring strategic insight and leadership skills from my corporate roles into my coaching practice, having worked for organizations large and small, across many different industries.

Drawing from my own journey with a diagnosed mental health condition about 10 years ago, I offer a unique blend of professional expertise and personal empathy. This dual perspective uniquely qualifies me to address these issues in both professional and personal contexts. My mission is to create a supportive environment where mental illness is de-stigmatized and embraced as an integral part of personal and professional growth.

I personally understand that those struggling with mental health issues often feel isolated. I provide a safe space of confidentiality, non-judgment, and empathy where we can work together to cultivate resilience, enhance emotional intelligence, and foster healthier, more inclusive work cultures and homes.

Whether you have a mental health condition or not, MHM could be valuable for you and those around you...

My Philosophy on the Process: The MHM Sun of Interrogative Words™ Approach

The Sun of Interrogative Words Symbol (W in front, with H's around in a circle, then W's circling the H's.

I've developed an easy to follow coaching approach called The Sun of Interrogative Words™. This "sun to light the way" is an illustration of how we would focus discussions into parts based on the "question words" we all share. Each of our sessions will follow this format to simplify your ability to create ideas and map out the steps and tools necessary for success in any challenge or opportunity you're currently facing.

The W for "Why" is highlighted and other sun elements in gray.

The "WHY" (Goal)

We'll ask, "WHY are you here today?" to start the conversation, identifying the challenge and goal.

Everything we do is towards the "WHY". Why is concerned with Better. Although easy to feel and identify, it is the hardest to continously achieve.

The H's for "HOW" are highlighted while other elements are gray.

The "HOW" (Plan)

Next, we determine "What is the HOW plan to achieve your goal?"

Circling the WHY is the HOW. Aimed at addressing the WHY's goal with a strategic and planned view. The HOW is the blueprint to achieving Better for your life, and uses the 5 W's to make it happen.

The W's for "Who/What/Where/When/Which" highlighted and other elements in gray.

The "5 W's" (Action)

Then we find the key elements of your plan asking, "Name the people, places, things and timings you can act upon to ensure your greatest chance of success."

These serve as the "tools" of HOW. They encompass the things you need to manage for any situation to get greater success and mental balance.
