Relieve Quarter-Life Crisis Pressure, Trust Yourself & Feel Confident in Your Identity and Direction in Life
Welcome, Folks!
Being an adult is HARD and most of us were never taught how to do it, let alone how to be a queer adult. We rarely (if ever) witnessed positive queer representation growing up. My mission is to help folks in their late twenties and early thirties understand why they feel so much pressure from the world, make choices that reflect their true values, and discern what is the best path for them. The unique challenges and confusion people experience in their twenties is an extremely understated combination of existential difficulties that (I think) requires a significant amount of individual support and community. I love coaching people in this stage of their lives because they are usually more than ready to make drastic changes and do what it takes to stick to those. It's such a fertile stage in a person's life because they have so much time still in front of them and they are still so flexible in their willingness to change their habits and thought processes.
‘Queer’ as not being about who you’re having sex with (that can be a dimension of it) but ‘queer’ as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.
-Bell Hooks
What To Expect
During our sessions, I'll coach you through your struggles with your identity and everything else that can cause a quarter-life crisis. We'll talk about how to find your passions and purpose in life, how to navigate relationships and career choices, and how to build confidence and self-esteem!
My Approach
My Approach revolves around helping you develop self awareness in every aspect of your life. Through this heightened awareness, you will then be able to easily identify what is actually important to you, aka: your Values. Once this happens, the goals you want for yourself will become very clear.
The real secret sauce/key to my approach is learning how to access Self Compassion. It may sound silly but learning to be compassionate with yourself will unlock your ability to do anything you want in life. It is the foundation for building the life you want and being able to do it 10x faster than someone who isn’t nice to themself.
My approach is a combination of reminding you of your values when things get confusing, implementing small habits and holding you accountable to the goals you’ve set for yourself.

“I found coaching during my Quarter-Life Crisis/Saturn Return...”
I was in a foreign country about to turn 28 years old and I felt completely lost, not really knowing who I was or what I wanted to do with my life. I was getting drunk more days in the week than not, working a job that I hated, and dating one toxic person after the other. One positive thing I was doing was traveling a lot and exploring new places but even that didn’t help because each place I went, I realized that I couldn’t keep running away from the intense feelings that were hitting a boiling point and completely overwhelming me. I remember being in one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places I had ever been and feeling totally empty inside. That is when I realized that I couldn’t keep escaping...
