Coaching for Life's Next Chapter
Because it’s never too late to embrace yourself more fully.
Has a life transition—retirement, divorce, becoming an empty nester, shifting careers—opened room to explore parts of yourself that were once pushed aside? Or perhaps you have finally reached the space to ask questions that you've carried for years, or decades? Or maybe you have you always felt “different,” or sensed that the gender and/or sexual orientation expectations placed on you never quite fit.
I offer a supportive, judgement-free space where you can explore without any pressure, social risk, fear of disappointing anyone, or violating cultural norms. We’ll work collaboratively, using guided prompts, reflective exercises, and conversation-based learning, to help you understand your identity, expression, and possibilities for the future.
You don’t have to know your labels or where this journey is leading. Together, we’ll create an affirming, engaging process that helps you learn more deeply about who you are—at a pace that feels right for you.
As we work together, we might explore:
-
aspects of gender or sexual orientation that have felt confusing or constrained
-
how life changes have opened new avenues for authenticity
-
ways to express yourself more comfortably and confidently
-
strategies for navigating partners, children, extended family, community, or professional spaces
-
practices for healing internalized fear, shame, or doubt
-
how to approach coming out—or not—in ways that feel safe and grounded
-
building supportive community and connection at any age

Gender coaching is different from therapy
Coaching involves guidance, support, mentorship, and interactive gender education that helps you explore gender identity and sexual orientation and navigate real-world systems with confidence. Unlike therapists or medical providers, gender coaches do not diagnose, treat, or provide clinical care. Instead, they focus on self-discovery, personal growth, and practical skill-building. For support with mental health conditions, please consult a licensed mental health provider.
