WHY WORK WITH ME?
“Never a failure, always a lesson.”
Rihanna

I know change intimately and have come to embrace the messy, mysterious process of transformation. From navigating major life transitions—like climbing the corporate ladder, going freelance, leaping into self-employment, healing chronic illness, to embracing my queer identity—I’ve been shaped by the alchemy of turning challenges into opportunities for growth. These experiences have taught me how to intentionally create a life that feels aligned and inspired—and I’m passionate about helping others do the same.
Throughout my career as a creative professional, I’ve realized what truly matters for me: the relationships I build, the collaborators I engage, and the care I offer by creating safe, imaginative containers for growth, creation, and play. My creativity feels electric and boundless when I’m in service to others’ exploration and transformation.
When you work with me, you’re getting more than a coach—you’re gaining a thought partner, collaborator, and hype person deeply invested in your journey as a whole person. Coaching with me is bold, energizing, and creative—a process designed to unlock growth in unexpected and meaningful ways.
Hiring a Coach
Let’s name it: there’s a lot of coaching out there.
Some of it’s deep, rigorous, and genuinely transformative. Some of it is not. Coaching is still an unregulated industry. Anyone can call themselves a coach, whether they’re trained or not. That doesn’t mean all uncertified folks are unhelpful—but it does mean you should be discerning.
Here’s what I want you to know:
You are the expert of your life. My role is to help you hear yourself more clearly—and walk with you as you create what’s next. I’m not a licensed therapist. Coaching is not a replacement for therapy—but it can be a powerful companion to it.
Here’s what I want you to know:
- I’m working towards my certification through the International Coaching Federation (ICF)—the gold standard in coaching ethics, methodology, and continuing education.
- I’ve trained in core coaching competencies through Berkeley Haas Executive Coaching program with reflective supervision. I also work with my own coach and therapist.

Everything is Political, Including Coaching
So much of modern coaching is steeped in neoliberal self-help culture—where everything becomes a mindset issue, and success is framed as a solo pursuit. I’m not here to help you optimize your life so you can perform better under capitalism. I’m here to help you remember what you want—and support you in designing a life that makes sense on your terms, not someone else’s metric of success.
Because the pressure to hustle harder, stay positive, and monetize your joy didn’t start with you. The self-help vortex loves to individualize what’s actually systemic: burnout, confusion, grief, desire.
As a white, queer artist with a decade of experience in the corporate world, I bring both lived experience and critical awareness into the coaching space. I’ve navigated student debt, power differentials, identity questions, and the tension between survival and self-expression.
I don’t pretend to have it all figured out—I’m constantly learning, unlearning, and interrogating my own position and privilege within the systems we’re all swimming in. My approach is rooted in humility, curiosity, and a deep respect for your lived experience.
