ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
I'm passionate about supporting and destigmatizing the way people view and experience neurodivergence. My primary goals as a coach are to empower folks to recognize their intrinsic worth and build systems together to address the rest. I believe that everyone is sovereign and worthy of meaningful support, compassion, and respect.
I have a diverse background in supporting and advocating for children, youth, and families from varied levels of intersecting experiences and systemic marginalization. Should we walk this path together, you can expect to be treated with unconditional acceptance, patience, and understanding.(ethical non-monogamy & polyamorous/polyam relationships welcomed)

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
My background in higher education, training and development, intercultural communication, and project management has given me years of experience working with students and professionals from all walks of life. As an Autistic ADHDer myself, I understand the classroom and workplace are not always neurodivergent-friendly, and this motivates me to use my creative and pattern-recognition abilities as a catalyst for positive change. I believe that everyone deserves to and can become the fullest version of themselves, and I am here to support and cheer you on along the way.
My special interest is ADHD and autism, so I am always researching and learning more. My core values are authenticity, compassion, and holistic growth, which I weave into my coaching and consulting practices. I believe we are all worthy of belonging, doing meaningful work, and unconditional rest. I am also a first-generation Canadian-born child of immigrants, which has not only impacted how my neurodivergent traits show up but also how I've navigated work and school. I hope to share my experiences and learn from yours as we co-create ways for you to thrive.
Together, let's embark on a journey of discovery, transformation, and empowerment.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
I’m passionate about supporting each student in their individual path and working with you to develop strategies that help you best get what you want out of education—with particular attention to neurodivergence/disability as it is experienced and lived with. I’ve worked for over a decade with neurodivergent/disabled students as young as 5 and ranging to students in post-secondary school.
I aim to support you in ways that are affirming, inclusive, individualized, and strengths-focused to help you achieve and exceed your goals. My background is as an educator working with disabled students, and my current work as a PhD student is rooted in critical disability studies and intersectionality to think through educational solutions that empower neurodivergent folks, led by students themselves. I would be honored to support you in academic strategies, humanities-related subjects, graduate and/or program applications, and learning technologies.
