Our Leadership Team
Anchora Alliance was founded to address a critical and growing need for accessible, high-quality mental health and psychosocial support and workforce resilience and well-being services for organizations operating in high-stress and high-risk environments.
While Anchora Alliance is a newly established organization, its leadership team brings more than four decades of combined global experience across clinical psychology, humanitarian aid, employee assistance programs (EAP), organizational well-being, and trauma-informed leadership.
Collectively, the leadership team has supported humanitarian organizations, international NGOs, healthcare institutions, government systems, and corporate partners across multiple regions of the world, helping teams navigate trauma exposure, crisis response, burnout risk, and the complex psychological demands of high-pressure work environments.
Through Anchora Alliance, this experience is brought together to design practical, evidence-informed solutions that strengthen individual well-being, team resilience, and organizational capacity.
