Be the Leader you are meant to become

Potential • Possibility • Purpose

EXECUTIVE COACHING

Discover your
true potential and live your purpose.

Leadership and vision come with both expectations and responsibilities, along with unparalleled opportunities for high impact and reward. As your business and role evolve, so too will the demands on you, requiring continuous growth and adaption.

The process of growth, becoming, and creating involves discomfort and risk. The tough things we experience can make us better. By leaning into personal and professional challenges, you expand to higher levels of performance and greater outcomes.

Obstacles mark the path to growth and impact.

Through a relational approach, we will uncover and embrace your unique strengths while paving a path for growth through your challenges. We will seize opportunities to deepen your self-awareness so your weaknesses become powerful assets and you achieve next level transformation.

Together, we will bring your vision for personal and professional success to life, empowering you to fulfill your purpose and create meaningful impact.

Untapped potential, limitless possibilities, and a clear sense of purpose lies within you. I will guide you in unlocking and expanding these strengths, helping you stay grounded, present, and aligned with your core values and integrity as you take purposeful action.

Redefine the limits of possibility.

Coaching is neither psychotherapy nor counseling and is not a substitute for it. Coaching does not treat mental health disorders, and referrals to licensed mental health professionals will be given if needed.

ABOUT DAN

I have always had a gift for seeing potential - whether it’s designing a space, landscaping, coaching athletes, working with teams, or guiding individuals. This ability to envision “what could be” drew me to human emotions and relationships early on. That passion, paired with a deep sense of intuition, led me to pursue a doctorate in clinical psychology and become a licensed psychologist. Over the past 25 years, the cornerstone of my work has been helping individuals discover and understand their full selves - their strengths, challenges, and untapped potential.

Throughout my journey, I’ve honed the ability to bring out the best in people. I focus not on giving others what they want, but what they need to thrive. My approach is grounded in deep psychological insight, resilience, and a belief in the transformative power of growth. I’ve learned to embrace challenges, celebrate victories, and help others translate their experiences into meaningful action with lasting impact – on themselves, their families, their organizations, and their communities.

Coaching has become a natural extension of my work as a psychologist. Over the years I’ve leveraged my own wins and learned from my losses to help others do the same. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on creating profound change.

I’m resilient, resourceful, and deeply committed to service. I care more about getting things right than being right. My greatest fulfillment comes from empowering others to align with their values, embrace challenges, and live with purpose. As I reflect on my life and work, it is clear to me that my purpose is to help you discover and live in yours.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife and have three young adult children. When I’m not working, you can find me hiking, running, exploring nature, or dreaming up new possibilities.

It would be a privilege to work with you.

While my career began in clinical practice, I quickly found my calling in leadership. As a supervisor and leader – not just a practicing clinician – I realized the profound impact my own behavior had on those who worked with me. At the Summit Center, the mental health organization I co-founded and have led for over 15 years, I have worn many hats: visionary leader and chief executive, master operator, HR and marketing specialist, and many places in between. This breath of experience has given me a unique understanding of organizations, teams, and individuals – and the powerful interplay between them.
