MY STYLE & APPROACH
Of all the words people use to describe me, the one I get the most is thoughtful. I am principled and present in every 1:1 interaction.
Coaching clients consistently share in testimonials they feel seen, understood, and valued during our conversations. I strive to create a container that fosters vulnerability and productive dialogue.
I was born and raised in a community with pervasive homophobia, so I recognize that every step forward is a conscious one. And that often means figuring out how to take risks in pursuit of better opportunities.
Whenever you feel stuck, I see it as a chance to center your needs—because you know yourself better than you think you do. I’m here to inquire and guide.

-
I offer pragmatic advice to LGBTQ+ people in different situations. I’ve lived in both safe and unsafe communities and know they require different approaches.
