Approach

Reorient, reconnect, reimagine.

This is not psychotherapy, but it is deeply supportive. Coaching with me is rooted in decades of experience walking alongside others through transformation, identity work, and healing. I bring a grounded presence, a creative lens, and a capacity to hold complex stories with care and clarity.

My approach is relational and experiential, blending body-based practices, somatic awareness, creative inquiry, and reflective dialogue. Together, we make space to explore your inner world, reconnect with what matters most, and move toward personal alignment with purpose and integrity.

REASONS TO SEEK COACHING

This coaching space is open to adults seeking thoughtful, identity-affirming support in areas such as:
  • Gender exploration and transition support
  • Creative block and self-expression
  • Burnout recovery and nervous system attunement
  • Purpose, clarity, and meaningful life direction
  • Life transitions and values-based decision-making
  • Support for caregivers, therapists, and changemakers
  • Reconnection to body, self-trust, and inner wisdom
I specialize in working with trans, nonbinary, gender fluid, gender queer, and queer adults, LGBTQ therapists, & those who tend to others. If you’re longing for a space to reorient, reflect, or reimagine what’s next, coaching might be the right fit.

What Makes This Coaching Different

My work is grounded in over two decades of supporting others—first as a registered massage therapist and yoga teacher, and now as a psychotherapist (licensed in Canada) and board-certified art therapist. I am also trained through Duke University’s renowned Integrative Health Coach Professional Training program, and my coaching practice reflects those ethics: client-led, strengths-based, and whole-person oriented.

In coaching, I do not diagnose, treat mental health conditions, or process trauma in the way a psychotherapist might. Coaching is future-focused and action-oriented, while still making space for your lived experience and emotional landscape. You remain the expert of your life—my role is to walk alongside you with presence and care.
