Who I Help
You don’t have to fit neatly into a box to belong here.
My work centers on supporting people navigating complex health and life experiences, particularly those who are overlooked or underserved by mainstream systems. My coaching is individualized and shaped to meet people where they are.
Cancer Coaching
-
“I have cancer… now what?” A new cancer diagnosis can be scary and overwhelming. It requires you to make plans for what comes next. Whether you are weighing different treatment options, feeling anxious or confused about your diagnosis, preparing for upcoming treatment, or simply wanting someone to process your diagnosis with, I can help.
-
Most cancer patients experience conditions that adversely affect their quality of life. Cancer treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal therapy, CAR-T and stem cell transplant can be difficult to endure and require your life to change for a period of time.
Whether you are experiencing pain, fatigue, GI distress, fear, anger, isolation, conflict with loved ones, guilt, anxiety, hopelessness, or other adverse emotions, or seeking to optimize your treatment by creating a therapeutic environment for healing at home, I can help.

Being a cancer survivor isn’t always easy. “Yay! You did it! You made it through treatment! You are a warrior!” People think now you are fine, you’re better. Support dries up, casseroles stop coming, people stop calling. But you aren’t back to normal. What is normal anyway? Even years after treatment, many feel the lasting impact that cancer has made on their lives.
Whether you are needing to process your experiences and discover what moving forward looks like, experiencing fear and anxiety over upcoming scans, or grieving lost time or lasting complications, I can help.
-
Being a caregiver is extremely demanding and sometimes thankless work. You are going through a lot, too! Watching your loved one suffer can be devastating. You are not alone.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by the reality of caring for your loved one, struggling to balance your responsibilities and commitments, or feeling burned out, exhausted, or fatigued, I can help.
While oncology is my clinical specialty, it isn’t the only place my work lives.
As a queer professional, I’m deeply committed to supporting my community. I offer health and life coaching for LGBTQIA+ folks navigating burnout, identity shifts, chronic illness, work stress, and the quiet exhaustion that can come from trying to hold it all together in systems that weren’t built with us in mind.
I’ve worked with queer healthcare workers grappling with burnout and moral distress, queer professionals balancing chronic illness alongside their personal and professional goals, and parents of queer kids who are learning how to support, advocate for, and walk alongside their children as they explore who they are.
My training in health and life coaching allows me to work across all domains of life—physical, emotional, mental, relational, and beyond.
Cancer may be my niche, but caring for my queer community is something I hold as both a responsibility and a privilege.
