I’m a writer living in the Pacific Northwest with my partner Jason and our two cats, a frog, and a lizard.

I publish my writing on my personal blog, which can be found on Substack here. I write primarily about my experiences with money, men, sex, and death.

Prior to focusing on writing, I worked as a mental health counsellor at a non-profit organization. I also worked in the sex industry all throughout my undergraduate degree and grad school, and I’m currently writing a book about this experience (tentatively titled “Leaving the Demimonde”).

At this time, I offer personal coaching. If that’s something that interests you, keep reading.

Coaching

I love working with people who are trying to figure something out. It is incredibly exciting to be there for the moment someone realizes, “I know what to do now!”

If you want to work with someone who is genuinely excited about helping you make progress on a challenging problem in your personal life, we might be a good fit.

Who I work with

I am especially well-suited to supporting people who are struggling with the following situations:

-People who feel unfulfilled or unhappy in their relationship/marriage, but don’t feel like they can leave it or change it

-People who are engaging in infidelity and have mixed feelings about it, but don’t know what else to do

-People who are seeing sex workers, but things aren’t going well, and they feel stuck, conflicted, or confused

-People who feel stuck in grief, anger, or resentment, and don’t know how to move forward

-People who are struggling with a major life transition, like getting divorced, navigating changes with polyamory/monogamy, or changing jobs

If you are struggling with a situation that is different from anything listed above, feel free to get in touch anyway. I enjoy working with a wide variety of people and concerns. I’ll let you know if I think we would be a good fit.

Who I don’t work with

At this time, I am not able to work with:

-People who are struggling with active suicidal ideation, psychosis, or untreated addiction to drugs or alcohol

-People who are unwilling to contemplate questions that may feel challenging or uncomfortable

-People who are not interested in receiving feedback

How I work

Sessions are one hour long, held over zoom, and the fee is $275 USD per session.

I typically work with clients once per week for 3-6 months, though the timeframe and frequency of meeting depends on the situation we are working with.

Some clients prefer to see me for a handful of sessions here and there, and others prefer to do longer term work with me.

If you have any questions about working with me, please send me an email with “coaching” in the subject line.
