About Me

I am a passionate Leo, extrovert, eldest daughter, and verbal processor living in Portland, Oregon. I move through life as an optimist, astrology lover, abolitionist, avoidant-tendency haver, and creative thinker. I am also a certified Professional Life Coach who has coached queer & trans people across multiple continents.

I’ve been teaching, leading, and coaching my entire life. I’ve worked as a caregiver, public school teacher, support group facilitator, and community organizer. At the core of it, every job I’ve had has been about leading people through personal transformation. I became a life coach so I could do just that in the way I found most impactful in my own life.

My experience as a non-binary trans person is one of my main muses for this work. I watched my entire self and life change through the evolution of my gender and it taught me how to craft a life that truly feels like mine. Now I get to help you do the same!
