Our Team
This is your team's biography. What makes us motivated, inspired, and whom we are. Furthermore, what are they like behind just helping in the community:
Daniel Kuhse
I was born in Colorado but have called Arizona home for more than 50 years. Having lived in Winslow, Flagstaff, Phoenix, and now the White Mountains, I proudly consider myself an Arizonan. I have always enjoyed the outdoors, including hunting, fishing, hiking, and spending time in Arizona's mountains and forests.
​
My passion for helping others led me to earn an Associate and Bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Phoenix, graduating with honors. Throughout my career, I have worked with Native American tribal communities, children, adults, and families facing behavioral health and life challenges.
​
In 2017, I founded White Mountain Coaching to provide practical support, education, and encouragement to individuals and families. My wife and I later relocated the business from the Phoenix area to Overgaard, where we enjoy the peaceful lifestyle and natural beauty of the White Mountains.
​
One of the most impactful experiences in our lives was adopting a brother and sister sibling group. That journey deepened our understanding of trauma, family dynamics, and resilience, inspiring our commitment to helping others navigate similar challenges.
​
Today, through White Mountain Coaching, I combine professional experience, education, and personal life experiences to help children, teens, adults, and families build hope, confidence, and positive change.
Mayra Kuhse
I moved from Mexico City to Arizona with my family at the age of 10 and have proudly called Arizona home for the past 39 years. My husband and I have been married for more than 31 years and now enjoy life together in Overgaard, Arizona. In my free time, I enjoy watching drama, mystery, and crime investigation shows, staying organized, and creating a welcoming home environment.
​
My professional career began in banking, where I spent 28 years building meaningful relationships with clients and helping individuals and families achieve their financial goals. Starting as a bank teller and advancing to Assistant Vice President and Branch Manager, I learned the importance of customer service, financial responsibility, and community involvement. I especially enjoyed educating young adults about budgeting, savings, checking accounts, and financial planning as they prepared for independence.
​
Throughout my career, my goal was always to make people feel welcome and valued. I believe that strong relationships are built on trust, compassion, and genuine care for others.
​
Our experience raising adopted children with trauma backgrounds taught my husband and me valuable lessons about communication, patience, resilience, and personal growth. Today, I bring those life experiences to White Mountain Coaching, where I serve as Director of Administration and support our mission of helping children, adults, and families overcome challenges and build brighter futures.
​
I am passionate about helping others, giving back to the community, and making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve.
