You + Me
We're all looking for meaning in life's patterns while staying grounded in facts, truth, and reality while all three are in short supply.If you're neurodivergent, you and I will always put science, health, and wellbeing first. Too many people have unsolicited and uninformed opinions about the human brain, and we will resist that with common sense and evidenced neuroscience.For all of my clients, astrology plays a natural role in how we reflect on the paths we're on. I use it to highlight themes, predisposed narratives, and innate strengths so we can propel forward, ground in rest, or fight for what's just.Please reach out if you've got pathological procrastination, are feeling politically overwhelmed, need to build community, or just can't stop moving while your body begs for rest.I help and learn from people of every brand and creed (except fascists).

What I do
Astrology is pattern recognition. It's also a tool for self-reflection.In a world where we're asked to reflect on our worth as part of a good vs. evil binary, astrology prompts us to see ourselves within 360º.Astrology will emphasize your strengths and shift your perspectives. There are no bad "placements," just challenges that you're equipped to embrace as part of your identity.Pro tip: I love the Executive Function read-ing, especially for those who struggle with initiation & "motivation."
You know that feeling in a dream that you need to run but can't move your feet?That's what it feels like when you don't have a healthy relationship with time, under-stand others' intentions, or can't just get to the f*cking gym.Shame doesn't leave a lot of room for pride.Since coaching isn't therapy, I get to guide your next steps, find empathy in our shared experiences, and learn from you as well.Pro-Tip: Incorporating astrology or tarot into coaching feels surprisingly natural. Ask me about the benefits of using them!
Don't see what you're looking for?Good. That probably means what you need is specific to your unique identity.If you work with me you get something built around yourself, according to you.Reach out and tell me what's going on. Tell me what you've tried or what keeps coming up. We'll figure out the rest together.I offer custom packages and sliding.Pro tip: Check out this actual custom plan I wrote for a client. (We used tarot at the top of every session to reflect!)
I LOVE OFFERING CUSTOM PLANS OR PACKAGES.

About me
Contact
After working as a Risk Manager in financial services for over a decade, I felt I needed to help people more than I needed to help corporations.What I encountered when I left corporate America was a mixture of people who mean well and people who are looking to make a quick buck off of teaching folks like me--the person who needs to make a pivot because their conscience says so, but is both restricted and put off by the demands of capitalism and euro-centric, deeply patriarchal educational institutions.I still don't have a great response to the dilemma of needing to participate inside of the system. However, I am a Certified ADHD Coach (ICAHP accredited), with over 100 hours coaching neurodivergent clients. I am also a Certified Travel Coach (ICF accredited).I menteed under the amazing Donnie, The Life Maximizer, and the equally incredible Joellyn, the Portland ADHD Coach, and continue to learn on the job everyday, aside from self-led continuing education.Having coached neurospicy and LGBTQ people (and loving every second of it), I open my practice to all who are seeking guidance (save for fascists), need opening to another, more dynamic level of intuition. One of curiosity, confidence, and care for self, community, and humanity.Please reach out if you're needing the type of coaching that tethers you to something larger than yourself without abandoning yourself.
